ABSTRACT:
A system and method for imaging and viewing, by a viewer, color and monochrome images as simultaneously three-dimensional and two-dimensional images. The invention comprises a camera device, a viewing device for displaying the images, a transmitter for transmitting a drive signal, and at least one pair of viewing glasses. The camera device includes a single imaging lens having a bifurcated, dual-aperture light valve, and a single image space for receiving and overlaying a plurality of left-eye images and a plurality of right-eye images at a field rate driven by the drive signal. The pair of viewing glasses includes a left-viewing-light valve and a right-viewing-light valve. In response to receiving the drive signal, the left-viewing-light valve opens and closes, synchronized with the field rate, for viewing the plurality of left-eye images. The right-viewing-light valve, responsive to the drive signal, opens and closes synchronized with the field rate, but alternatingly with the left-viewing-light valve, for viewing the plurality of right-eye images. The plurality of left-eye images and the plurality of right-eye images appear three-dimensional when viewed through the pair of viewing glasses, and appear two-dimensional when viewed without the glasses.
