1. A combined system to capture a plurality of two dimensional
digital images of a scene by a user, process the images, and view a multidimensional digital image, the combined system comprising:
a memory device for storing an instruction;
a processor in communication with said memory device configured to execute said instruction;
a plurality of digital image capture devices in communication with said processor and each image capture device configured to capture the two dimensional digital images of the scene, said plurality of digital image capture devices positioned linearly in series within approximately an interpupillary distance width, wherein a first digital image capture devices is centered proximate a first end of said interpupillary distance width, a second digital image capture devices is centered on a second end of said interpupillary distance width, and any remaining said plurality of digital image capture devices are evenly spaced therebetween, said plurality of digital image capture devices captures a plurality of the two dimensional pair of digital images of the scene;
said processor executes an instruction to save said plurality of the two dimensional digital images of the scene in a sequence;
said processor executes an instruction to align said sequence of said plurality of the two dimensional digital images of the scene horizontally and vertically;
said processor executes an instruction to select a key subject convergence point in said sequence of said plurality of the two dimensional pair of digital images of the scene and align said sequence of said plurality of the two dimensional digital images about said key subject convergence point;
said processor executes an instruction to select two of the two dimensional digital images of said sequence of said plurality of the two dimensional digital images aligned about said key subject convergence point;
a display in communication with said processor having a micro optical lens spacing, said display configured to display said multidimensional digital image,
said micro optical lens is configured as a plurality of pixels having a refractive element integrated therein, said refractive element having a plurality of repeating series of continuous sub-elements aligned as a single layer therewith said plurality of pixels,
wherein each of said plurality of repeating series of continuous sub-elements is configured having a cross-section shaped as a single continuous layer having repeating flat sections and trapezoid sections, each of said trapezoid sections having an incline angle and a decline angle;
said processor executes an instruction to interphase said two of the two dimensional digital images of said sequence of said plurality of the two dimensional digital images aligned about said key subject convergence point to correspond to said micro optical lens spacing to generate the multidimensional image of the scene; and
said processor executes an instruction to display the multidimensional image of the scene on said display.
