Multiplexing displays on one piece of hardware

Now here’s an interesting idea, which struck me when I observed the reflection of my cursor in the bevel of my display: By combining two polarized sources of light on a display, it is possible for one display to be directly viewable on the screen, and another to be viewable in a reflection (Brewster angles). Arrange the mirrors properly, and we have a method of multiplexing a fully independent second display on one piece of hardware.
