Abstract

Apparatus for creating a three-dimensional image in space of an object. The device employs concave mirrors positioned in a unique arrangement with respect to one another so that the clarity and image produced therefrom is enhanced. Additionally, a videotape option allows a whole image to be broadcast and real objects merged with the broadcast image so that the entire combined image appears three-dimensional and realistic to a properly located observer.
