Apparatus and methods for displaying an image by a rotating structure are provided. The rotating structure can comprise blades of a fan. The fan can be a cooling fan for an electronics device such as an augmented reality display. In some embodiments, the rotating structure comprises light sources that emit light to generate the image. The light sources can comprises light-field emitters. In other embodiments, the rotating structure is illuminated by an external (e.g., non-rotating) light source. 167.-. (canceled)68. A display apparatus for displaying a representation of an image , the display apparatus comprising:a rotatable structure;a motor configured to rotate the rotatable structure;a plurality of light sources positioned relative to the rotatable structure so as to direct light toward the rotatable structure;a non-transitory memory configured to store image data to be displayed by the display apparatus, the image data comprising one or more views of the image at a viewing direction; and drive the motor to rotate the rotatable structure about a rotation axis, the rotatable structure positioned at a rotation angle as a function of time,', 'access the image data,', 'map the image data to the plurality of light sources based at least in part on the rotation angle, and', 'illuminate the plurality of light sources based at least in part on the mapped image data., 'a processor operably coupled to the non-transitory memory, the motor, and the plurality of light sources, the processor comprising executable instructions to69.
