Abstract
In one embodiment, the optical viewing system produces a simulated, three dimensional image utilizing two video monitors and a half silvered mirror. The two dimensional image produced by one monitor is transmitted through the half silvered mirror while the second image from the second monitor is reflected from the half silvered mirror and overlaid onto the image of the first monitor. Since the screens of the monitors are located at different distances from the initial point of overlay of the two images, the images appear to the observer, in the optical viewing path, to be three dimensional.
