  • Publication number: 20120274907
    Abstract: A light surface display for providing a three-dimensional image having a volumetric display, a first projection system, and a second projection system. The first projection system projects electromagnetic energy into the volumetric display sequentially along the length and width of the volumetric display in a series of 2D image slices. The second projection system projects electromagnetic energy in a series of slices along the depth of the volumetric display. Particles intersected by the first and second wavelengths form illuminated two-dimensional cross sections at specific locations in the volumetric display.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 8247755
    Abstract: A light surface display for providing a three-dimensional image including a plurality of particles dispersed within a volumetric display. A first projection system projects sequential slices of electromagnetic energy of one or more infrared wavelengths along the length and width of the volumetric display energizing particles to form a two-dimensional image. A second projection system projects translational slices of electromagnetic energy of one or more infra-red wavelengths that intersect with the energized particles across the depth of the volumetric display. A control system synchronizes the projection of the image source and the activation source such that the two-dimensional image and the translational slices energize the particles for a pre-determined length of time so that the particles illuminate to form an illuminated three-dimensional image.

  • Patent number: 8075139
    Abstract: A light surface display for providing a three-dimensional image including a plurality of particles suspended within a volumetric display. A first projection system projects sequential slices of electromagnetic energy of one or more wavelengths along the length and width of the volumetric display energizing particles to form a two-dimensional image. A second projection system projects translational slices of electromagnetic energy of one or more wavelengths that intersect with the energized particles across the depth of the volumetric display. A control system synchronizes the projection of the image source and the activation source such that the two-dimensional image and the translational slices energize the particles for a pre-determined length of time so that the particles illuminate to form an illuminated three-dimensional image.
