Abstract
A display system includes a single image-projection device, and a reflective surface optically coupled to the image-projection device, wherein the reflective surface is configured to reflect a plurality of images projected by the image-projection device onto a plurality of display surfaces, the projection being along a same path as a collection of the plurality of images.

A display system configured to receive data bearing collected images, wherein said collected images were collected using a first optical path including a first reflective surface, said display system comprising:
- an image-projection device;
- and
- a second optical path including a second reflective surface optically coupled to said image-projection device;
- wherein said second reflective surface is configured to reflect a plurality of images projected by said image-projection device onto a plurality of display surfaces;
- wherein said second optical path has the same optical properties as said first optical path such that said display system projects said plurality of images along an optical path matching said first optical path used during collection of said plurality of images.
A display system configured to receive data bearing collected images, wherein said collected images were collected using a first optical path including a first reflective surface, said display system comprising:
