Abstract:
A projection system configured to project a stereographic image onto a viewing surface, the stereographic image including a left-eye image and a right-eye image, the projection system including:a light source configured to produce a beam of light; a polarizing beam splitter configured to split the beam of light into a right image beam and a left image beam of different polarities; an image engine configured to produce the stereographic image, the image engine including a left image-producing element configured to produce the left-eye image and a right image-producing element configured to produce the right-eye image, wherein the polarizing beam splitter is configured to direct the left image beam toward the left image-producing element and the right image beam toward the right image-producing element, and wherein the polarizing beam splitter is configured to recombine the left image beam and the right image beam after the production of the left-eye image and right-eye image; and a projection lens configured to project the left-eye image and the right-eye image onto the viewing surface.
