1. A visualization system comprising:
a housing having an aperture and, within the housing,
a light source to emit light;
a plurality of specular reflectors to direct the light along an optical path forming a virtual image; and
an ambient light suppressor in the aperture to prevent stray light from impacting the virtual image,
wherein the virtual image is visible in a continuous headbox that spans at least 10 cm laterally and possesses a monocular depth that is smaller than a distance between a viewer within the continuous headbox and the ambient light suppressor.
