Abstract: A three-dimensional display system including a method of operating the display as a tactile scanner. A three dimensional display is formed from a number of moveable rods arranged in a matrix. Each rod has selectively illuminated pixels made from LEDs or similar devices. The rods can be moved independent to position the pixels into position to model a pre-defined object to present a three-dimensional model and overlaying image. The pixels can also be illuminated by an external lighting source such as a laser. Stationary embodiments of the monitor are also disclosed which are formed of a three dimensional grid of LEDs or other light sources which can be selectively illuminated to provide a true three dimensional display.
