Left- and right-eye components of a 3D image arewidth-compressed by a factor of two and recorded ordisplayed side by side. A viewer includes left-eye andright-eye enlargement lenses to width-expand the twoside-by-side images by a factor of two and to permit theirseparate viewing by left and right eyes of a person. Thus,the data presented to each eye of the viewing person hasthe same apparent width as an entire uncompressed frame.Fusion of the two images takes place in the brain of theperson, the same as in normal viewing. Interaction of theresolution of the left- and right-eye images produces aresolution substantially equal to that produced by afull-width image. When the displayed image is a video display,flicker of prior-art systems resulting from alternatingshutter openings and closings is eliminated. The viewermay be incorporated into goggles worn by the person doingthe viewing, or may be a stationary or movable device.
