ABSTRACT:
An autostereoscopic optical apparatus (10) for viewing a stereoscopic image comprising a left image to be viewed by an observer (12) at a left viewing pupil (14l) and a right image to be viewed by the observer at a right viewing pupil (14r). A left image generation system (70l) forms a left curved intermediate image near the focal surface (22) of a curved mirror (24). A right image generation system (70r) forms a right intermediate image near the focal surface of the curved mirror. A center of curvature of the curved mirror is placed substantially optically midway between the exit pupil and the left optical system (110l) the exit pupil of the right optical system (110r). A beamsplitter is disposed between the focal surface and the center of curvature of the curved mirror.
