ABSTRACT:
In accordance with embodiments, viewable imagines can be created in glass. Viewable images may be created in or on glass (or other at least partially transparent substrate), by using microstructures to scatter light from a projector, while the glass maintains transparent or translucent properties. In embodiments, the microstructures are integrated into glass in patterns.
