Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a three-dimensional picture suitable for use with television systems. A set of representations of differing cross-sections of a scene is displayed on one or more display screens. These displayed representations are optically stacked along a common optical axis by an arrangement of beam splitters to form a composite three-dimensional picture. At least one positive lens is included within the apparatus for repositioning the composite picture forward toward a viewing audience. A method and apparatus are also disclosed for enlarging the picture, minimizing translucency therein and developing multiple viewing locations for increasing audience enjoyment.
