  • Abstract
    The information explosion which has resulted from recent advances in computer technology has produced an ever increasing need for the clear and concise presentation of vast quantities of data. A Three Dimensional Display System is described which satisfies this need without the requirement for expensive and highly sophisticated equipment. The display system, which employs a small general purpose digital computer, utilizes only those components normally found in Electrical Engineering laboratories and can be employed as a real time output device to improve the man-machine communication link. The system can be effectively used as a teaching tool in the classroom to display in three dimensions many of the quantities and concepts which students deal with on a daily basis. The system can also be used as an aid in research where the increased "visibility," which the system can provide, yields new insight into the problem under investigation.
