Patent Number:	9645404
Title:	Low-Profile Bounce Chamber for Peppers Ghost Illusion
Abstract:	Systems and methods herein are directed to creating a holographic image (e.g., in line with Pepper's Ghost Illusion) using a low-profile bounce chamber. As described herein, a bounce is provided at an angle (e.g., a 45-degree angle) to a holographic screen/foil in a Pepper's Ghost Illusion setup. One the same side of the bounce is an image projector that directs an image onto a mirror, which then reflects and disperses the image onto the bounce. In one embodiment, the bounce is a rear projection bounce, under which the projector and mirror reside. In another embodiment, the projector and mirror are arranged for a front projection bounce.
