An imaging apparatus optically extruding parts of a screen image and outputting the extruded images from surfaces different in dimension from the screen surface, wherein a set of image guides formed by bundles of optical fibers placed on the surface of the screen extrude portions of the image displayed on the screen and radiate the extruded images from opposite surfaces different in dimension from the surface of the screen. When some image or a video stream are displayed on the screen, image features are modified so that the extruded portions are displayed on the surfaces of the image guides properly in response to the positions and orientations of the image guides. When the imaging apparatus is equipped to track the positions and orientations of the image guides in real-time, a user can interact with an image animation by moving the image guides.
