Conventional holography and integral photography are typical 3D display systems in which viewers can see 3D objects without wearing special glasses. However, special equipment or parts are required to manufacture the display. By substituting pinhole array for fly-eye lens of integral photography, it has been made possible to form the pinhole array at once by an ink jet printer. The proposed system consists of a transparent board sandwiched by two transparent sheets, which are OHP sheets on which special still images were printed by high resolution ink jet printer. The 3D data are generated by either our original ray-tracing software or POV-Ray.
