Abstract
Disclosed are embodiments of habitat assemblies. In one embodiment, the habitat assembly includes confined habitat structure configured to receive and display elements of nature. An image-revealing window is connected with the confined habitat structure, and includes an image display system to allow for visual media to be displayed as a backdrop to the elements of nature being displayed. A viewing window is positioned opposite from the image-revealing window such that the visual media can be seen through the viewing window.
Claims21
A habitat assembly, comprising:
- a confined habitat structure configured to receive and display elements of nature;
- an image-revealing window connected with the confined habitat structure, wherein the image-revealing window comprises an image display system;
- and
- a viewing window positioned opposite from the image-revealing window, wherein the image-revealing window is configured to display visual media, wherein the light source is configured to illuminate the visual media, wherein the visual media can be seen through the viewing window, and wherein the habitat assembly is configured to substantially prevent viewing of the periphery of the image-revealing window such that an observer looking through the viewing window perceives only the image-revealing window and the elements of nature.
A habitat assembly, comprising:
- an aquarium configured to receive and display elements of nature;
- an image-revealing window connected with the aquarium, wherein the image-revealing window comprises a motion picture image display system;
- and
- a viewing window positioned opposite from the image-revealing window, wherein the image-revealing window is configured to display a motion picture comprising a sequence of images giving the illusion of continuous movement, wherein the motion picture can be seen through the viewing window, and wherein the habitat assembly is configured to substantially prevent viewing of the periphery of the motion picture image display system such that an observer looking through the viewing window perceives only the motion picture displayed by the motion picture image display system and the elements of nature.
A method for displaying elements of nature against a visual media backdrop, comprising:
- providing a confined habitat structure;
- placing at least one element of nature in the confined habitat structure for display;
- and
- displaying a visual media behind the confined habitat structure such that the visual media can be seen through a viewing window positioned opposite from the visual media display, wherein the viewing window and confined habitat structure are configured to substantially prevent viewing of the periphery of the visual media such that an observer looking through the viewing window perceives only the visual media and the element of nature.
