On The Fundamentals Of 3-D Display

This paper investigates some concepts for generating 3-D images and tries to classify them. 3-D imagery poses a lot of problems, some of them are "only" technical difficulties, but there are also some fundamental limitations. Among them we consider the restrictions imposed by the wave-equation to 3-D intensity distributions and we study how 3-D information is transmitted by a wavefront or stored by a hologram.
