Abstract: A system for recording and playing back pictures of objects according to the time slice technology comprises a camera arrangement including several cameras simultaneously capturing pictures of at least one object, a storage assembly for storing all captured pictures, a display assembly for displaying captured pictures, and a control unit for controlling the camera arrangement, the storage assembly and the display assembly. The cameras, in each case, are high speed video cameras having high resolution adapted to capture a great number of pictures per second which all are stored in the storage assembly and then can be retrieved from the storage assembly in arbitrary sequence for creating movie sequences.
