INTERACTIVE GENERATION OF 3-DIMENSIONAL COMPUTER GRAPHICS
Abstract
A new technology employing a vibrating mirror produces spacefilling images. An observer views a reflection of a CRT in a moving mirror. By displaying a proper sequence of pictures 30 times a second, a space filling three-dimensional image is formed. A computer-driven graphics terminal using this technique has been developed. This paper describes the optical principles behind the display and the components of the terminal. Several new algorithms which are unique to the new system are described. Finally, areas of application for the terminal are listed, and the utility and limitations of the system are discussed.
