A display system may comprise a radially symmetric mirror, a display screen, and a radial array of lenticular lenses. The mirror may be a frustum of a cone. Light from the screen may pass through the radial array and then reflect from the mirror, to create a 360-degree automultiscopic display. The automultiscopic display may display multiple rendered views of a 3D scene, each of which shows the scene from a different virtual camera angle. Which rendered view is visible may depend on the angular position of a user. Each lenticular lens may be wedge-shaped and may have a constant focal length and a constant height-width ratio. In some cases, slices from some, but not all, of the rendered views are displayed under any single lenticular lens at a given time. The lenticular array may be replaced by a holographic optical element, or by radial array of parallax barriers.
