Abstract: A method for formatting images for angle specific viewing in a scanning aperture dimensional display device. Input images are rearranged into slices or sections to create a set of output images. The images derived from the output images are formed by rearranging the image slices or sections and disposing the image to be viewed directly behind an open aperture in an aperture plate in a scanning aperture display device. By cycling the images in relation to the cycling of the open apertures of the aperture plate, angle specific viewing of the scanning aperture display can be provided. The number angles for angle specific viewing can be varied and can range from 2-1000 distinct viewing angles from a single scanning aperture display device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for electronically constructing three-dimensional images by means of a field of scanning apertures and a two-dimensional high-speed video display device. A display device and an aperture plate are selectively controlled to produce 3-D image reconstruction having both horizontal and vertical viewing angles.
