ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are provided for generating a three-dimensional image having all four physiological depth perception cues. One embodiment includes backlighting device for projecting light; a spatial light modulator for modulating light emanated by the backlighting device; a lens array having a plurality of lenses for receiving and redirecting the light; and an optional aperture screen for inhibiting unwanted light and for minimizing reflections from external lighting. Embodiments of the invention may be used to reproduce directional distribution of light from a computer-generated image, a photographically captured three-dimensional scene, or other from other sources.
