  • Publication number: 20150077713
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a method for projecting a 3D image onto a projection surface, which includes a first and a second partial images for a right and left eyes of a first viewer, respectively. A first illumination beam, which has electromagnetic radiation of a predetermined first property, is produced depending on first image data. A second illumination beam, which has electromagnetic radiation of a predetermined second property different from the first property, is produced depending on second image data. The first and the second illumination beam are deflected towards the projection surface such that the first and the second illumination beams produce a first and a second beam spots thereon, respectively. The first and the second beam spots are moved across the projection surface such that the first and the second partial images are shown with the aid of the first and the second beam spot, respectively.
