Multiple left-eye, right-eye three images of a ground area are obtained
from an aerial or satellite platform. The left-eye, right-eye images are transferred
to a digital processor which rasterizes and interleaves the images to an output
file for printing. The output file is printed on a hard copy medium and overlaid
with a microlens sheet having a plurality of lenses. The lenses refract the printed
image such that a viewer sees from a first position relative to the hard copy a
three-dimensional image of the ground area as seen from a first aerial or satellite
viewing position and, from a second position relative to the hard copy, sees a
three-dimensional image of the ground area as seen from a second aerial or satellite
viewing position. Optionally, the interleaving and the microlenses are such that
a viewer can obtain a 360 degree view, of three dimensional images of the ground
area by rotating the hard copy through a plurality of viewing positions.
