An image augmenting window (1702) and method of operation. An image augmenting window has at least one selectably transmissive internally focused intermediate image lens (1760, 1762) with a first (1786, 1788) and rear side (1764, 1766) opposite one another. Each lens respectively has a first portion (542) that receives light (510, 514) and focuses it into a focused image on an internal focal plane (546, 1726, 1728). Each lens also has a projecting output optical structure (544, 1212,) that refracts the focused image as a projected image 1781, 1783) exiting the rear side at an exit angle. A selectably transmissive shutter (604) is located in the internal focal plane and is controllable to block at least a portion of light passing through the lens. At least one controllable light source (1780, 1782, 1784), positioned adjacent to a lateral side of a respective selectably transmissive internally focused intermediate image lens, emits projected light (1740, 1742, 1744) parallel to the exit angle. A controller (1748) independently controls each shutter and each controllable light source. |
