Claim Text:
1. A method for the holographic reconstruction of scenes, comprising: imaging sufficiently coherent light of an illumination device having at least one light source into an observer plane by an imaging system having at least two imaging means, illuminating a light modulator encoded with a hologram by the at least one light source, generating a spatial frequency spectrum as a Fourier transform of the encoded hologram in a plane of a first imaging means, imaging the light modulator into a plane of a second imaging means by the first imaging means, imaging the spatial frequency spectrum from the plane of the first imaging means into at least one virtual observer window in the observer plane by the second imaging means, and presenting a reconstructed scene to at least one observer in an enlarged fashion in a reconstruction space, where the size of the reconstruction space is expanded due to the enlarged imaging of the light modulator.
