Claim One:
1. A method of creating a three-dimensional image display, comprising: determining at least one viewing zone located in front of at least two transmissive electronic displays, said displays spaced one in front of another relative to said viewing zone; selecting one pair of source stereopair images; processing said source stereopair images to produce two calculated images derived from said source stereopair images and said relationship of said viewing zone and said displays, said calculated images being derived so that they act as a mask for each other when imaged on said displays, a first one of said calculated images being adapted for a front one of said two transmissive electronic displays and a second one of said two calculated images being adapted for a rear one of said transmissive electronic displays; displaying each said calculated images on an appropriate transmissive electronic display such that each displayed calculated image acts as a mask for the other displayed calculated image; and backlighting said transmissive electronic displays to display a stereoscopic image visible in said at least one viewing zone wherein said visible image corresponds to said selected pair of source stereopair images.
