Display system for producing wide-angle, retroreflective real images

A display system comprising:

• a plurality of display stations positioned and configured such that, in operation, the plurality of display stations generate a real image in a viewing space, each display station of the plurality of display stations comprising:
• a light source comprising at least one of a display or an illuminated object, the light source configured to emit light;
• a beamsplitter;
• and
• a retroreflector,
• wherein the beamsplitter is rotated about a first axis at an offset angle relative to the retroreflector,
• wherein, for each display station, at least a portion of the light emitted from the light source is:
• directed to reflect off the beamsplitter to the retroreflector, retroflected by the retroreflector toward the beamsplitter, and transmitted through the beamsplitter into the viewing space as retroflected light from that display station,
• wherein the plurality of display stations are rotated relative to each other such that the retroreflected light from each display station at least partially overlaps in the viewing space to form the real image.
