Abstract: A system is disclosed for the three-dimensional representation of scenes and/or objects from planar layer images which are obtained from scaled representation planes in the spatial depth of the scenes and/or objects. To this end, a plurality of adjacent representation elements are provided, wherein said elements are perpendicular to the vision direction of an observer or a camera. The representation elements are arranged relative to each other so as to define a flat raster comprising a plurality of lines and columns. Two at least of these adjacent representation elements, in a line and a column of this raster, have different focal distances. The number of different focal distances corresponds to the number of scaled representation planes in the spatial depth. The representation elements having the same focal distance are always associated with the same representation planes. A portion of a planar layer image is placed in the optical axis of each representation element.
