The interactive delivery of voice serve messages communicating financial, personal or other news telecasts can be accessed at a subscriber's convenience on an inbound telephone, network enabled or other call. A voice service bureau may generate voice messages for individual subscribers according to their natural language queries. For instance, a subscriber may inquire “What was the closing Dow today” and the system converts the request to digital form, discriminates search terms, interrogates a database and annunciates to the call “The closing Dow was 11,000 today”. Responses to those or other inquiries may be delivered in real time or substantially real time.

For use with an imaging system, in one aspect, the present invention implements a filter system that provides a precise narrow band pass for IR-NIR wavelengths, while also providing individual dye-type filters that can be disposed above individual RGB pixels to create dedicated red, green, and blue pixel responses. An interference dichotic filter provides a non-critical first pass band that adequately encompassed RGB wavelengths, and provides a more critical IR-NIR pass band for Z-pixels. The individual dye-type filters have individual R, G, B pass band shapes that fall within the interference filter. Preferably a dye-type NIR-IR filter is also in a common optical path with the other filters to contribute to the overall filtering. In a second aspect, the invention provides an RGB-Z system with dynamically updated image renderings to better enable a viewer of the image to acquire a sense of depth.
