Method for preparing three dimensional images and audiovisual system for displaying thereof

An audiovisual display system for displaying three dimensional images along a line of sight to be viewed by a viewer comprising image source means for projecting a video image in a predetermined direction, said image source means including a monitor;

• stage means for providing a setting;
• transparent screen means disposed between said predetermined direction of said video image and said stage means and being oriented at an angle substantially equal to 45.degree. to said predetermined direction so that said viewer is able view said stage means and said video image projected on said transparent screen means so that said image appears to be positioned on said stage means to said viewer;
• said stage means including a low voltage light source oriented relative to said stage to provide shadowing on said stage and including a stage floor, oriented at an angle relative to said line of sight;
• said stage floor being oriented at an angle of substantially 7.degree. relative to said line of sight.

An audiovisual display system for displaying three dimensional images to be viewed by a viewer along a line of sight, said system comprising a first image source means for projecting a video image along a first predetermined direction;

• a first stage means providing a setting;
• a first transparent screen means disposed between said first predetermined direction of said video image and said first stage means and being oriented at an angle less than 90.degree. to said line of sight and said first predetermined direction so that said viewer is able to view said first stage means and said first video image projected on said first transparent screen means so that said first video image appears to be positioned on said first stage means;
• a second image source means for projecting a second video image along a second predetermined direction, a second stage means providing a setting;
• a second transparent screen means disposed between said second predetermined direction of said second video image and said second stage means and being oriented at an angle less than 90.degree. to said line of sight and second predetermined direction so that said viewer views said second stage means and said second video image projected on said second transparent screen means so that said second video image appears to be positioned on said second stage means, said second transparent screen means being positioned adjacent said first transparent screen means forming a row of said transparent screen means, and control means for causing said first image source means to project said video image along said first predetermined direction simultaneously with said second source means projecting said second video image along said second predetermined direction.

A method for recording an image to be displayed on an audiovisual display system for displaying three dimensional images to be viewed by a viewer along a line of sight, said system including a first image source means for projecting a first image along a first light path, a first stage means providing a setting for said first image and a first transparent screen means disposed between said first image source and said first stage means along said first light path allowing said viewer to view said first stage means and allowing said first image to be projected on said first transparent screen means so that said image appears to be positioned on said first stage means, a second image source means for projecting a second image along a second light path, a second stage means providing a setting for said second image, a second transparent screen means disposed between said second image source means and second stage means along said line of sight and said second light path allowing said viewer to view said second stage means and allowing said second image to be projected onto said transparent screen means so that said second image appears to be positioned on said second stage means, the image being of a moving object on a performing stage, the method comprising the steps of providing a first light source above a first portion of said performing stage forming a first pool of light on said performing stage within a first field of view, providing a second light source above a second portion of said performing stage forming a second pool of light on said performing stage within a second field of view, said second field of view not overlapping said first field of view, providing a black back drop extending across said first field of view and said second field of view, filming said first field of view with a first camera and simultaneously filming said second field of view with a second camera.
