Claim One:
1. A method for the simulation of spatial visual impressions, comprising the following steps: a) specifying the image generator geometry of an image generator, especially with regard to the structure and size of the image elements, b) specifying the filter array geometry of a filter array, especially with regard to the structure and size of the filter elements, c) specifying a spatial arrangement geometry in relation to the image generator and the filter array in a three-dimensional coordinate system, d) specifying a first and a second monocular position of observation in front of the said arrangement geometry in the said three-dimensional coordinate system (X, Y, Z), e) specifying a combined image that is suitable for display on the specified image generator geometry and that contains, in a defined assignment to the image elements, image information from different given primary images, which are identical to different views A k (k=1. .. n) of a virtual or real scene or of a virtual or real object, f) determining a first and a second secondary image containing image elements of the specified combined image which are visible to the eye of an observer in the specified first and second monocular positions of observation on the basis of the specified filter array geometry in conjunction with the specified image generator geometry and the spatial arrangement geometry, in which an image element of a secondary image may explicitly just as well represent only part of an image element of the specified combined image, and g) stereoscopically visualizing the first and second secondary images or parts of these secondary images as a left and right stereoscopic image, respectively.
