A projection apparatus

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus configured to present still or moving images as an optical illusion using a partially reflective, partially transparent element. The apparatus comprises a body with a retaining formation that vertically supports the reflective element, and a holding formation that positions a projector apparatus—such as a smartphone, tablet, or conventional projector—at approximately forty‑five degrees relative to the reflective surface. When a luminous source image is projected, it is reflected toward the user so that the image appears to originate from behind the reflective element, enhancing the Pepper’s Ghost–type illusion. The design eliminates side walls or supporting pillars by connecting the formations from below, thereby expanding the viewing area, reducing obstruction, and allowing multiple users to observe the illusion from various angles while keeping the source image concealed.
