Abstract
A viewing system is provided for presenting a real image in space that is rotated extremely rapidly so that an entire audience, regardless of an individual's position about the viewing system, can view the same image substantially simultaneously and continuously. An electronic image rotation system distorts, processes and rotates an image upon a cathode ray tube (CRT), and a parabolic mirror arrangement projects the image from the CRT to provide a rotating real image in space. A rotatable polarized screen and a separate, stationary polarized screen cooperate to define a viewing window which remains continually aligned with the rotating real image in space.
