Heliodisplay is a technology that uses a projector to display images in mid-air by focusing the image onto a layer of mist. It works by drawing in air, creating a cloud of microscopic particles, and ejecting the particle cloud to form an invisible 3D screen. A digital projector then illuminates the particle cloud to create a visible image floating in space. Heliodisplay models include the M1, M2, M3, M30, M50, M100 and L90, which offer resolutions up to 1024x768 with 2000:1 contrast ratio. Applications include advertising, video conferencing, military training, and more.
3. Introduction
Heliodisplay is a
technology used for
displaying images in mid
air.
In the heliodisplay, a
projector focuses the
image onto a layer of mist
in mid-air, resulting in a
two-dimensional display
that appears to float.
6. Air Is Drawn In
A Cloud Of Microscopic Particles Is
Created
Cloud Of Microscopic Particles Is
Ejected
So As To Create A 3D Screen
Digital Projector Unit Illuminates
The Particle Cloud
Creating A Visible Image
7. WORKING
The Device Converts The Imaging Properties Of The Air So That
The Air Is Taken In, Converted Instantaneously, And Then Re-
ejected Out.
The System Thus Creates A Dynamic, Non Solid Particle Cloud
By Ejecting Atomized Condensate Present In The Surrounding
Air.
Now The Projector Projects The Given Input On The Found
Invisible Screen.
8. 1024 X 768
Resolution, 16:9 Or 4:3
Aspect Ratios.
2000:1 Contrast Ratio
3D Compatible
Supports All Formats
No Hardware Or
Software
Projects All Images
Viewable On A Computer
Screen Or Televison.
10. A HANDHELD OBJECT ACTS AS A MOUSE AND
DRAG IMAGES IN MIDAIR.
HAND MOVEMENTS ARE MONITORED BY AN
OPTICAL TRACKING SYSTEM, WHICH IS A
CAMERA THAT:
1. Monitors And Locates Movements
2. Changes In The Location Of Our Hand.
11. APPLICATIONS
Advertising/promotion
Video conferencing
Virtual surgery
pre-operative planning
Military training programs
Gaming/artwork
Engineering/architecture plans
Build the Heliodisplay into furniture
12. ADVANTAGES
No Screen To Project Images
Device Is Light Weight
No Special Glasses Required
Translucency Is Controlled
Can Be Converted Into A Furniture
Nothing Is Added To Air
Projected Images Appear 3D
Does Not Create Fog,
No Electronic Device Affected
13. DISADVANTAGES
HELIODISPLAY IS VERY EXPENSIVE.
VIEWING AN IMAGE IN DIRECT
SUNLIGHT IS IMPOSSIBLE.
SCREEN CAN BECOME DISTORTED WITH
TOO MUCH AIR MOVEMENT IN THE
ROOM.
14. CONCLUSION
Heliodisplay is a good projection unit.
It does not require any special hardware and
support videos and jpg images, flash, quick
time etc.
We can also play games on heliodisplays.
It creates one of the most convincing open-air
holographic-like images in existence.
Heliodisplay can work as a free-space
touchscreen when connected to a PC by a
USB cable.
