Abstract
The present invention is a system, computer program product, and method for generating multiple virtual image displays. The system includes a housing having an open end and a closed end with a plurality of sidewalls extending between the open end and the closed end. There is a main display area at the closed end and a sidewall display area on each sidewall. The system further includes a computer within the housing operably connected to the main display area and sidewall display areas. The computer is programmed, structured, and/or configured to generate a plurality of virtual display areas opposing each sidewall display area and a plurality of secondary virtual display areas extending outwardly from the virtual display areas.
Claims20
A system for multiple virtual image displays, comprising:
- a housing having an open end and a closed end with a plurality of sidewalls extending between the open end and the closed end;
- a main display area at the closed end;
- a sidewall display area on each sidewall;
- a computer within the housing operably connected to the main display area and sidewall display areas;
- wherein the computer is configured to generate a plurality of virtual display areas opposing each sidewall display area;
- and
- a plurality of secondary virtual display areas extending outwardly from the virtual display areas.
A method for providing multiple virtual image displays, comprising the step of:
- providing a multiple virtual display system comprising a housing having an open end and a closed end with a plurality of sidewalls extending between the open end and the closed end;
- a main display area at the closed end;
- a sidewall display area on each sidewall;
- and a computer within the housing operably connected to the main display area and sidewall display areas;
- generating a virtual display area opposing each sidewall display area;
- generating a plurality of secondary virtual display areas extending outwardly from the virtual display areas;
- and
- aggregating the main display area, virtual display areas, and secondary virtual display areas to create a virtual content display area.
A computer program product providing content on multiple virtual displays, the computer program comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions are readable by a computer to cause the computer to perform a method comprising the steps of:
- generating a plurality of virtual display areas;
- generating a plurality of secondary virtual display areas extending outwardly from the virtual display areas;
- and
- aggregating the virtual display areas and secondary virtual display areas to create a virtual content display area.
