True 3D Display

This research team was the first to use laser-plasma technology for a true-3D display device that allows users to draw 3D images in midair (True 3D Display Using Laser Plasma in the Air, Emerging Technologies, SIGGRAPH 2006). Now the team has developed a much more compact and precise display, called SRV (Super Real Vision)-5000, based on advanced laser technology. One remarkable feature of the new device is its enhanced resolution: from 300 points per second to 50,000 points per second. It displays 3D objects more faithfully in real time and increases the range of possible applications.
