An apparatus comprising a light source and a deformable mirror device including a matrix of individually controllable mirrors, each controllable mirror having first state reflecting light from the light source into a light path and a second state reflecting light from the light source away from the light path. An optical element is disposed in the light path projecting a virtual image of the deformable mirror device wherein the virtual image conveys information to a viewer of the projected image.
