Abstract

A multiple viewing-point floating imaging device is comprised of a plurality of dihedral corner reflectors 1 arranged along an optical device plane S and rotated around an axis of rotation perpendicular to said plane, to point in a plurality of directions along said plane, whereby light rays from an object O near to said plane are reflected once each by the two mirrors of said dihedral corner reflectors while passing through said plane, forming a real image P in a plane-symmetric position, visible from multiple viewing points V1 and V2 by multiple observers simultaneously.
