Abstract
A method and system for providing a three-dimensional (3D) display. A variable length z-axis is added to each of plural (x,y) cells in a two-dimensional (2D) Cartesian plane creating plural three-dimensional (3D) cells each with a x, y and z axis. The z-axis includes a variable length light source for each of the plural x-y cells. The z-axis also includes a space vector including time and space information. A 3rd dimension is created by changing a length of the light source. A 2D image cell at (x, y) is moved along the 3D z-axis (x, y, zα) with viewing angle (α) to create a converted 3D image. An original 2D image adding z-axis with a space vector can be viewed as a 3D image on any network device (e.g., smart phone, tablet, wearable device, TV, etc.) without additional devices such as 3D glasses, 3D set-top boxes, etc.
