Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods herein are directed to three-dimensional image sources for an enhanced Pepper's Ghost Illusion. In one embodiment, a contoured bounce is described, allowing for contorting a bounce to different shapes, giving it enhanced three-dimensional (3D) effect. For instance, the bounce may include certain topography (raised portions), or else may actually comprise various 3D shapes (e.g., cubes, semi-spheres, etc.). In another embodiment, a multi-level image source is described, allowing for multiple image sources (e.g., projected bounces and/or panel displays) to be used and placed at different heights with respect to a transparent viewing screen, thus projecting images that appear at various depths, increasing the three-dimensional (3D) effect of the Pepper's Ghost Illusion. In addition, in one embodiment, the heights of the image sources may be adjusted (e.g., dynamically), making corresponding holographic images change their depth perspective to an audience, further enhancing the 3D effect.
