Claim One:
1. A system for synthesizing a digital three dimensional image of a source, comprising: a display area, comprising: an array of display elements, wherein each of the display elements is configured to display a pixel of information; a first portion of capture elements distributed among the display elements and configured to digitally capture a left eye perspective of the source; a second portion of capture elements distributed among the display elements and configured to digitally capture a right eye perspective of the source, wherein the first and second portions are separated by an offset distance that allows capture of a three dimensional perspective of the source; a synthesizing module for: synthesizing the digital three dimensional image from the images captured by the first and second portions, based at least in part on the offset distance, wherein the left eye perspective of the synthesized three dimensional image is based on the left eye perspective captured by the first portion of the capture elements, and the right eye perspective of the synthesized three dimensional image is based on the right eye perspective captured by the second portion of the capture elements.
