Abstract:
A three-dimensional representation method for generating a three-dimensional image by displaying two-dimensional images on a plurality of image planes located at different depth positions, the method comprising the steps of;generating two-dimensional images of an object to be presented by projecting along the line of sight of an observer onto a plurality of image planes located at different depth positions as seen from the observer; and changing brightness levels of the generated two-dimensional images individually for each image plane to display the generated two-dimensional images on the plurality of image planes; wherein, when the object to be presented is displayed at a depth position close to the observer, the brightness levels of the two-dimensional images displayed on those image planes of the plurality of image planes which are close to the observer are raised and the brightness levels of the two-dimensional images displayed on the image planes remote from the observer are lowered; and wherein, when the object to be presented is displayed at a depth position remote from the observer, the brightness levels of the two-dimensional images displayed on those image planes of the plurality of image planes which are close to the observer are lowered and the brightness levels of the two-dimensional images displayed on the image planes remote from the observer are raised.
