Aerial Burton - Mobile 3D-display without screen

The Japanese company Aerial Burton continued to improve its unique development of real 3D-display capable of reproducing an image directly into the air (see. Note "Aerial Burton 3D display is building a true three-dimensional image"). One of the priorities in the study was a reduction in the size of the installation, up to the placement in the trunk of a car-SUV. This is due to the fact that the company wants to commercialize the project and expand the production of such mobile units by early 2015.

As the developers say the application of the system is possible to signal in an emergency situation when there is a necessity to build the image seen at long range, in areas where it is impossible to find a suitable location for the normal screen. For example, it can be text or pointers, hovering in the air that will inform victims about where you can get food, where there are emergency supplies, or indicate a safe path to the evacuation.

 

Technology of the air volumetric images based on the ionization of air by means of a sufficiently powerful infrared laser, capable of producing pulses with a frequency of 1,000 times per second. These pulses come in the three-dimensional scanning optical system which reflects the laser beam and focuses it at the desired point in space. The energy of the laser light ionizes the air molecules, causing them to emit photons of light in the visible range, making a point of the space pixel lit three-dimensional image.
