ABSTRACT:
A method for imaging, broadcasting and viewing images, simultaneously three-dimensional and two-dimensional, of object space. The invention comprises a camera device, a remote viewing device, a drive signal generator, a transmitter, and a 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 transmitter transmits the images, as an image signal, and the drive signal. The remote viewing device receives the image signal and reconverts the image signal to the plurality of left-eye images and the plurality of right-eye images. The pair of viewing glasses receives the drive signal and in response thereto, opens and closes the left and right viewing-light valves, synchronized with the field rate, for viewing the left and right eye images, respectively. The left and right eye images appear as a three-dimensional image when viewed through the pair of viewing glasses, and appear as a two-dimensional image having normal clarity and definition when viewed without the glasses.
