Forget 3D TV: ‘Aerial 3D’ Projects Images in 3D Space - marcottefrientor

A new technology called Air 3D by Sir Richard Burton could commute the agency we watch TV–or how designers, engineers, and scientists model CAD files or Deoxyribonucleic acid strands.

Aerial 3D, in its current state, uses a unity laser to project thousands of "plasm dots" in 3D space. By controlling the centerin of the laser, you can control where the plasma dots appear in relation to the laser and the looke.

This one laser is able to bounce about in 3D space and project one dot at once. But because the human optic can only percieve so many images each second, and the laser can visualise thousands of dots each second, to us IT looks like Aerial 3D uses thousands of lasers, with each each projecting a single dot.

According to Richard Burton's Alexis Oyama, Forward pass 3D's smaller 20-cubic-centimeters 3D display commode envision 50 thousand dots per "frame", surgery hundreds of thousands of dots per second (Burton did not specify how many "frames" per second Aerial 3D displays). And their larger expose–adequate 5 cubic meters–can project about 1000 dots per second.

This tech force out reveal some 3D images and animations. Richard Burton says that in the future, multiple different color lasers could be combined to create multicolor images.
