Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of generating a three-dimensional image of an object from a plurality of two-dimensional slices of the object, comprising the steps of imaging each two-dimensional slice on a two-dimensional display device, (Fig. 7, 70) and varying the distance of the two-dimensional display device from an optical element used to view the three-dimensional image, (Fig. 7, 82) the variation of the distance performed in synchronization with the imaging of the two-dimensional slices of the image so as to give a viewer the illusion of viewing a real three-dimensional object. The method further comprises the step of generating a sequence of two-dimensional slices from the object. In addition, the method further comprises the steps of imaging three sets of two-dimensional slices, one for each of three colors, red, green and blue, (Fig. 7, 76) on the two-dimensional display device, and performing three cycles of distance variation.
