Abstract:

A pseudo-volumetric display apparatus includes a first inwardly facing image display surface having a continuous geometry, with an open upper end, for presenting an interior panoramic image, and a second upwardly facing image display surface, located at a lower end of the first image display surface, for presenting a second image. The images may be generated optically or electronically. The second image is correlated and synchronized to the first image, and the first image display surface is sized and positioned to facilitate simultaneous viewing of both images from outside of the first surface via the open upper end. The same or coupled information may be simultaneously presented as a continuous Cartesian representation on the first image display surface and as a polar representation on the second image display surface, and content of one representation may be synchronized in accordance with a selected position in the other representation.
