Abstract

Apparatus, system, and method is described wherein a synthetic aperture based sequence of image samples are generated with respect to a subject to be stereoscopically imaged. These sample images are presented to the spaced inputs of a holographic integrated combiner screen to be presented at an output aperture in laterally spaced mutual positioning. That spacing is selected, in one aspect, as one-half of the interpupillary distance of human eyes and thus binocular stereoscopic viewing at the aperture is achieved. The combiner screen may be utilized in conjunction with a holographic optical image combiner architecture which additionally employs a lens assembly such as a projecting lens to generate multi-zone outputs, each zone of which may be presented for stereoscopic viewing at a discrete viewing station. Correction for chromatic aberration of the holographic optical components is described.
