Abstract
A system, method, and device for generating Pepper's Ghost artifices from two-dimensional sources including Augmented Reality ('AR') or Virtual Reality ('VR') environments such that the Pepper's Ghost artifices appear to be a natural addition to a three-dimensional virtual environment. By employing virtual Pepper's Ghost projections onto varying size and shaped screens in the virtual three-dimensional environment, a reduction in bandwidth and costs are realized particularly when displaying humanoid characters in an AR and/or VR environment. While the methods disclosed with the present invention could be of utility to any type of virtual environment, the benefits are particularly acute for dynamic VR environments.
