Abstract
A system and method for generating and displaying three-dimensional images of a scene on a screen that provides multiple viewing positions for one or more viewers . A stereoscopic video capture system and picks up video images and of the scene . A video signal processing unit processes the video images into video signals. The video signal processing unit has a graphics controller for controlling and processing the video signals into stereoscopic display signals. A display unit displays the stereoscopic display signals as stereoscopic display images on the screen , and the graphics controller manipulates the stereoscopic display images to provide multiple viewing positions of the stereoscopic display signals on the display unit of the screen to the one or more viewers . Multiple viewing angles and distances are provided for the one or more viewers . The stereoscopic display images are oscillated to provide multiple viewing angles. The stereoscopic display images comprise vertical image pair strips and and dark vertical strips interposed between the vertical image pair strips and . These strips and and strips are alternately interchanged in position for oscillating the stereoscopic display images, typically above a critical fusion frequency for human vision, to provide multiple viewing angles. The vertical image pair strips and are varied in width to provide multiple viewing distances. A control unit, such as a remote unit or or attached unit, is used for adjusting the multiple viewing positions of the stereoscopic display images on the screen for the one or more viewers
