Volumetric displays render true 3D graphics without forcing users to wear headsets or glasses. However, the optical diffusers that volumetric displays employ are rigid and thus do not allow for direct interaction. FlexiVol employs elastic diffusers to allow users to...
Electric plasma can be formed in mid-air, making an ionic channel that transfers electrical current. This current can power high-voltage electronics, kill bacteria, produce tactile sensations or be used for welding. However, the formation of the spark is chaotic and...
A laser pointer is a commonly used device that does not require communication with the display system or modifications on the applications, the presenter can just take a pointer and start using it. When a laser pointer is used on a volumetric display, a line rather...
We present SliceView, a simple and inexpensive multi-view display made with multiple parallel translucent sheets that sit on top of a regular monitor; each sheet reflects different 2D images that are perceived cumulatively. A technical study is performed on the...
Holographic optical tweezers use focused light to manipulate multiple objects independently without contact. They are used in tasks such as measuring the spring constant of DNA, the pulling force of the kinesin protein, or to trap matter in exotic states. Differently,...
