Abstract
A presentation device for use with a computing device including a display device and an audio output. The presentation device includes a body member defining an interior volume and at least a first opening. The body member further includes a partially reflective and partially transmissive medium. The body member is configured to receive anamorphically-distorted imagery that is displayed by the display device, which has a predefined arrangement with the body member. The body member is further configured to reconstitute the anamorphically-distorted imagery as a three-dimensional illusion that appears within the interior volume. The body member is further configured to guide audio from the audio output to exit the body member through the first opening.

A presentation device for use with a mobile computing device comprising a display device and an audio output, the presentation device comprising:
- a body member having a first predefined arrangement with a reference surface, the body member defining an interior volume and at least a first opening, the body member comprising a partially reflective and partially transmissive medium, wherein the body member is configured to:
- receive, when the mobile computing device has a second predefined arrangement with the reference surface, anamorphically-distorted imagery that is displayed by the display device;
- reconstitute the anamorphically-distorted imagery as a three-dimensional illusion that appears within the interior volume;
- and
- guide audio from the audio output to exit the body member through the first opening.
A presentation device for use with a mobile computing device, the presentation device comprising:
- a body member having a first predefined arrangement with a reference surface, the body member defining an interior volume, the body member comprising a partially reflective and partially transmissive medium, wherein the body member is configured to:
- receive, when the mobile computing device has a second predefined arrangement with the reference surface, anamorphically-distorted imagery that is displayed by a display device of the mobile computing device;
- and
- reconstitute the anamorphically-distorted imagery as a three-dimensional illusion that appears within the interior volume.
A presentation device comprising:
- a mobile computing device configured to display anamorphically-distorted imagery;
- and
- a body member having a first predefined arrangement with a reference surface, the body member defining an interior volume and a first opening, the body member comprising a partially reflective and partially transmissive medium, wherein the body member is configured to:
- using the anamorphically-distorted imagery, when the mobile computing device has a second predefined arrangement with the reference surface, display a three-dimensional illusion appearing within the interior volume;
- and
- guide audio from an audio device through the first opening.
