ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the invention provides a system for providing a three dimensional image from at least two plane images. The system includes first and second image display devices substantially simultaneously outputting first and second plane images, each plane image produced at different positions with respect to an object. The system also includes first and second mirrors configured such that the output first and second plane images are incident to the first and second mirrors and reflected in a direction, respectively. The system provides for either manual or automatic adjustment of the distance between the first and second mirrors such that the incident angle and reflection angle of the plane images are maintained to be substantially identical after each adjustment.
