1. An imaging and display system comprising:
a display that emits first light representing an image;
an optical system that includes at least one mirror;
a housing that has an opening and accommodates the display and the optical system;
a light-transmissive cover that has transparency to light and is disposed to cover at least part of the opening of the housing;
a support having a low-reflection outer surface and being connected outside of the housing to cover at least part of the light-transmissive cover; and
a camera supported by the support, wherein a low-reflection coating is provided on at least part of the camera, the low-reflection coating having a lower visible light reflectivity than a visible light reflectivity of the low-reflective outer surface of the support,
wherein the first light emitted from the display passes through the light-transmissive cover via the optical system, and is reflected by a display medium toward a direction of a user, and
the camera is disposed on a surface of the support, and captures an image of the user shown on the light-transmissive cover by second light from the direction of the user reflected by the display medium toward a direction of the light-transmissive cover, the surface of the support being a surface facing the light-transmissive cover.
