1. An apparatus for presenting a panoramic scene about a viewing station comprising:

  • plural projectors, each projector providing light representative of a given portion of said panoramic scene;

    a reflector for each projector that provides an indirect optical path for the propagation of projected light;

    an intermediate rear-projection screen receiving the projected light from the plural projectors via the associated reflectors and providing a continuous panoramic object scene in accordance with the projected light received; and

    a reflector that forms an enlarged virtual image of said continuous panoramic object scene, said reflector directing the light rays of said continuous panoramic object scene such that said enlarged virtual image appears to be located at a distance from the viewing station substantially greater than that of the direct optical path.
