Abstract :
A new three-dimensional image display device that may bring improved accuracy to air traffic control, mapping of underground ore deposits and analysis of data from medical scanners has been developed at the University of Utah. The device uses a special optical system and a television screen to produce a realistic 3-D illusion. Such an image can be created from any type of data that can be fed into a computer, including three-dimensional graphs, brain scanner images, x-rays, maps and drawings.
