Think of this. A glass box with maybe 15 plates crisscrossing in it. Then cameras would project a image in corrolation to the side on each criss crossed plate. A possible idea for a futureistic cheap 3D TV.

I don't understand this idea, I think it needs more detail...

All the images would have to be in focus, so the lens would either have to change shape quickly or there could be a rotary system, but it would need to be very fast.

I like it generally.

The idea is for a matrix of semi-transparent displays, each one displaying a plane of a 3-D image. Taken as a whole, the entire display will appear to have depth.

As an idea, it's been done.

Hey Jutta, do you notice a trend where the Halfbakery gets more bakers during the winter season, or is that just a coincidence?

Welcome, [weaselfan]. I'll have to think about how this could be done before I decide to bone or bun you. Nice one for making me think though, hmmm....

bone.

It's summer in the Southern hemisphere right now. A trend like that would also suggest most of us live in the Northern Hemisphere.

Exactly how many polygons would be acheivable with only 15 criss-crossed plates? The effect would be great for an art installation, not so for a sporting event. Change this to an art project and it's a bun. (Oh, yeah, and what [UB] said - I'm thinking we should use projectors instead of cameras for the correct effect)
