Abstract

A two-dimensional image file is transferred from a client via the Internet or other data transfer network to a server having a processor for performing selectable image data processing, according to a stored program. The processor generates a file for output, formatting and fixation on a micro-optical material. The image fixed on the micro-optical material is seen by the unaided eye as three dimensional, or an action, zoom, flip, or morphing sequence, depending on the image processing selected. For three-dimensional imaging the processor assigns regions within the image to different image surfaces, and displaces each according to multiple viewing angles. The image surfaces are interphased into a single data file which is output and fixed, by printing or photographic processes, on the micro-optical material. The printed image is either printed directly on the micro-optical material or laminated. The image may also be viewed through a CRT having an overlaid micro-optical material.
