Abstract
A method and display are disclosed in which a representation of a 3D model is provided for presentation as a 3D image. The image may be presented under an array of spherical or lenticular microlenses so that different images are presented at different viewing angles. The images are rendered using a set of orthographic projections; this can avoid the need for multiple cameras or the highly computer intensive processing associated with generation of simulated camera images and can also give improved results as compared to prior art multiview images.
