Abstract
A lensed display system includes a projector configured to project an image. The lensed display system includes a lens formed of a glass or crystalline material. The lens includes a first surface, wherein at least a portion of the first surface includes a coating that is configured to display the projected image. The lens includes a second surface, wherein the second surface comprises a transparent curved surface that is configured to face toward a user and to enable the user to view the image projected onto the coating through the transparent curved surface.

A lensed display system, comprising:
- a lens comprising:
- a first surface comprising a planar surface, wherein at least a portion of the first surface comprises a coating configured to enable display of an image on the coating;
- and
- a second surface comprising a curved surface configured to face toward a user and to enable the user to view, through the curved surface, the image on the coating;
- wherein the lens is configured to distort the image such that the image appears to the user to be inside an interior of the lens, appears to the user to be a three-dimensional image, or both.
A lensed display system, comprising:
- a lens comprising:
- a first curved surface comprising a coating configured to enable display of an image on the coating;
- and
- a second curved surface configured to enable a user to view, through the second curved surface, the image displayed on the coating;
- wherein the lens is configured to distort the image such that the image appears to the user to be inside an interior of the lens, appears to the user to be a three-dimensional image, or both.
A lensed display system, comprising:
- a lens comprising:
- a first surface, wherein the first surface is configured to face toward a projector and at least a portion of the first surface is configured to display an image projected onto the first surface by the projector;
- and
- a second surface, wherein the second surface is configured to face away from the projector and is configured enable a user to view, through the second surface, the image projected onto the first surface;
- wherein the lens is configured to distort the image such that the image appears to the user to be inside an interior of the lens, appears to the user to be a three-dimensional image, or both.
