Summary:An imaging system for the generation of an apparent three-dimensional (3-D) image suspended in space (19) for direct viewing (21) includes a beamsplitter (7) and a retroreflector (5a, 5b). The optical properties of reflecting light back along its original path enable the system to generate such an apparent 3-D image (21) based on the perception of depth cues present in the original scene (3) for viewing.
