ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for displaying moveable bodies, in which an optical representation of the body and a data field attributed to this body are displayed simultaneously or alternately from the same perspective and on the same scale in real time. The method includes the following steps:
providing the optical image-reproduction system comprising a camera and a monitor;
allocating a 3D - data field to the body having a certain position;
continuously recording of the 3D - position of the body;
continuously calculating of a display of the data field equivalent to the body's momentary position;
simultaneously or alternately representing the optical image and the data field on the monitor.
An apparatus for carrying out this method is also provided.
