Focal attentional region displaying a virtualized three dimensional object projected by a multiple layered display system

Abstract

A visual display device including a plurality of stacked display layers displaying a plurality of objects. A first reflective surface is positioned at an angle to the plurality of stacked display layers, and projects a first subset of objects in a first direction towards a viewer. The first subset of objects is projected as if originating from a first focal attentional region comprising a first plurality of object planes. A second reflective surface is positioned at the angle to the first plurality of stacked display layers. The first and second reflective surfaces are approximately parallel to each other. The second reflective surface projects a second subset of objects in the first direction towards the viewer. The second subset of objects is projected as if originating from a second focal attentional region comprising a second plurality of object planes.

         33 . A visual display device, comprising:
 a first display in a first plane, wherein said first display is configured to display first and second images;   a second display in a second plane, wherein said second display is configured to display third and fourth images, wherein said first and second planes are approximately parallel to each other;   first and second reflectors each located over both of the first and second displays, so that the first and second displays overlap both of the first and second reflectors, the first and second reflectors being approximately parallel to each other and also being angled relative to the first and second displays; and   wherein the first and second displays, and the first and second mirrors, are configured to that a viewer can view the first and second images from the first display and the third and fourth images from the second display, the first and third images from the first and second displays respectively being viewable through the first mirror and being reflected by the second mirror, and the second and fourth images from the first and second displays respectively being viewable by being reflected by the first mirror.   
     
     
         34 . The visual display device of  claim 33 , wherein the first mirror is a partially transparent mirror.
