ABSTRACT:
The principle purpose of the present invention is to provide an image processing system which uses the two methods to form visible stimuli which dipict visual shape. In particular, the present invention either transforms a first visible configuration to a asecond visible configuration that depicts (in one of the two possible ways given) the visual shapes induced by the first visible configuration, or it determines the visible configuration necessary to depict the desired visual configuration. Using the present invention, it is possible to transfrom a full 360 degrees of visible space (i.e., front, back, up, down, right and left directional views) onto a single display surface.
