Abstract:

Disclosed is a system and method for creating and displaying interactive three dimensional (3D) computer images. In a preferred embodiment of the system a plurality of digital cameras are positioned in a single arcuate vertical plane, aimed at a center of an object to be imaged in the center of a rotating turntable. Images of the object are captured by each of the cameras after the turntable rotates a certain number of degrees, until the object has rotated a complete 360 degrees. The captured images are then sent to a computer where they are stored and from them, virtual images are created. These original images and virtual images are then compressed and re-sampled in order to be interactive 3D computer images. The 3D images of the object are then displayed and manipulated by the view through using a computer controller, such as a mouse, and various control icons.
