Abstract: Apparatus comprising a first image projecting device for projecting a first image, an optical arrangement located optically downstream of the first image projecting device such that the first image appears to a viewer, to be located on an opposite side of the optical arrangement to said first image projecting device, forwardly of the apparatus at a first image plane, the apparatus further comprising a secondary image and an at least partially transparent screen or surface, the second screen or surface positioned on the same side of the optical arrangement as the viewer and is for displaying the secondary image on the screen which appears to the viewer to be located behind the first image plane.

Abstract: An image projection apparatus comprising a frame structure having first and second opposing panels (6, 8) and a further panel (26) extending between the opposing panels (6, 8) and defining an opening, the frame structure supporting at least one image projection device (10, 12) mounted to the frame structure and arranged for front-projection of an image onto a gauze scrim ((14) covering the opening, and one or more reflective surfaces ((22, 24) mounted to the opposing panels (6, 8) of the frame structure and extending rearwardly. Also disclosed is a system (40) and method of presenting live entertainment comprising projecting a computer-generated image onto a surface (46), electronically driving in real time the projected image and controlling the projected image by way of an operator (52) hidden from one or more viewers (54) of the projected image, the operator (52) able to produce a reaction from the projected image in relation to an action of the one or more viewers (54).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compact display apparatus providing similarly sized but much brighter virtual 3D images to a viewer, the apparatus comprising an enclosure; LED illumination based electronic display device; partially transparent and partially reflective viewing surface; and contrast/interference filter screen. The enclosure houses the LED illumination based electronic display device, filter screen and the partially transparent and partially reflective viewing surface. The filter screen is positioned close to the surface of the LED illumination based electronic display device. The LED illumination based electronic display device projects a primary real image onto the filter screen and is optically transmitted onto the partially transparent and partially reflective viewing surface.
