Abstract (en)

A process for manufacturing a three-dimensional photograph (1) includes: establishing a three-dimensional coordinate system (1', 2', 3') and subsequently generating a three-dimensional spatial image (9) within the coordinate system (1', 2', 3') ; dividing the image (9) into a plurality of pixels (90) and subsequently storing spatial data and color data of the pixels (90) in a memory; dividing the image (9) into a plurality of image layers (11) along a direction corresponding to a coordinate (z, r) of the coordinate system (1', 2', 3'); providing a plurality of transparent plates (12, 22, 33) and coloring a side surface of each of the plates (12, 22, 33) at positions (122) corresponding to the pixels (90) in a respective one of the image layers (11), based on the spatial data and the color data in the memory; and combining the transparent plates (12, 22, 33), thereby forming the photograph (1). <IMAGE>
