The invention relates to the production of three dimensional images for direct viewing or for recording on a sensitised recording surface. Hitherto, three dimensional images have been produced by a two-stage process, and the resultant images have needed to be viewed using special equipment. To produce such images in e.g. photography, either a multiple lens camera has been needed, or a means to allow a single lens camera with a slit plate, to move along a horizontal track. The images so produced exhibit a high degree of so-called flipping. More recently, an attempt to overcome these problems proposed the use of a wide aperture lens behind a slit plate. This allows the object to be viewed from various and continuous directions but the image is a spatial image that is inverted in depth, and the process remains as a two-stage process. The object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for the direct production of integral parallax orthoscopic panoramagramic images, which objective is met by a process comprising directing at an object a means of gathering and focussing incoming radiation from the object of a wavelength to which said means is suited, positioning to either side of said gathering and focussing means a grouping means for producing a number of groups of individual waves, each group emanating from a part of said object, said grouping means generating an image in pseudoscopic form, and a means of encoding the pseudoscopic image as discrete parallactic information on a single plane, for subsequent viewing as an orthoscopic image.
