Claim One:
1. A method for providing a multiview three-dimensional image of an object, the method comprising the steps of: focusing multiview image rays of the object incident from a plurality of viewing directions by means of a large-aperture objective, whereby a demagnified three-dimensional image of the object is formed at a convergent zone; scanning the focused multiview image rays of the object by means of a first scanning device disposed at the convergent zone, whereby two-dimensional images are formed, each an image of the object as viewed from a different one of the plurality of viewing directions; re-focusing the two-dimensional images of the object at a transmission device; transmitting the re-focused two-dimensional images by means of the transmission device; and projecting the transmitted re-focused two-dimensional images on a display device, whereby a multiview three-dimensional image of the object is provided.
