Visible Image Forming Technology in the Air —Screenless 3D Display—

Abstract

Many displays of quasi-three dimensions by VR and AR are developed and becoming popular. But formation of pseudo-three-dimensional images by a parallax causes so-called three-dimensional drunkenness, and it sometimes make people physiological unpleasant feelings. Furthermore, we must wear special devices such as goggles or we must stand the special location to see 3D images. It was our long dream to draw three-dimensional images in the space nothing but air literally without any screen and to see them without any devices in crowds at the same time.

We have proved three-dimensional image forming without a screen to be possible by plasma emission using a pulse laser for the first time in the world. Development of contents and equipment have been advanced in order to draw higher-definition animations. We would like to introduce the drawing principle of visible image formation technology in the air, Aerial 3D Display as a proof machine, and SRV (Super Real Vison) which is a small general-purpose machine. Then, we discuss future development and research.
