Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a two-dimensional (2D) image source configured to project three or more selected viewpoints, wherein the three or more selected viewpoints are images with different perspectives of a scene that are generated from different positions using three or more cameras; a first optic; and a second optic configured to be periodically and repeatedly linearly translated relative to the first optic via a controller in first and second coplanar directions and in synchronization with the three or more selected viewpoints projected by the 2D image source to create three-dimensional (3D) imagery, wherein the controller is configured to control linear translation of the second optic relative to the first optic in the first and second coplanar directions based at least in part on data received from a feedback control loop, and wherein the 2D image source, the first optic and the second optic are substantially close to or in contact with at least one other of the 2D image source, the first optic or the second optic.
