System for viewing omnidirectionally projected images

摘要

An omnidirectional viewing system for enabling viewers to view projected images from a plurality of positions about the system. The omnidirectional viewing system includes a plurality of cylindrical sheets of optically transmissive material stacked on one another to form a cylindrical reflection chamber for reconstructing an image projected therein and a reflective coating on the outer surface of the reflection chamber for reflecting at least a first portion of light from at least a first projected image within the reflection chamber and for allowing at least a second portion of light from at least the first projected image to exit the reflection chamber at a plurality of locations on the outer surface of the reflection chamber.
