Publication number: 20120274907Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2012Publication date: November 1, 2012Inventors: Hakki H. Refai, Erik Petrich, James J. Sluss, JR., Monte P. Tull, Pramode Verma, Gerald K. Newman, Martina Dreyer

Patent number: 8247755Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2011Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: The Board of Regents of the University Of OklahomaInventors: Hakki H. Refai, Erik Petrich, James J. Sluss, Jr., Monte P. Tull, Pramode Verma, Gerald K. Newman, Martina Dreyer
