Hi-Tech projector that display pictures in the air. Works as a free space touch screen when connected to PC. Although it is also a two-dimensional display that appears to float (3D when using 3D content). Similar in principle to the cinematic technique of rear projection and can appear three-dimensional when using appropriate content. introduction
Heliodisplay and Screen projector Heliodisplay Screen Projector All video,images can been in 3D, this makes the image more realistic than on a projection screen. No screen is required, as the system itself creates an invisible screen in the air and thus projects on that. A screen projector display in 2D A support structure (i.e. projection-screen) is used for displaying a projected image.
HISTORY Developed by Chad Dyner . He built it as a five-inch interactive prototype in 2001 before patenting the free-space display technology. In 2005, US patent office granted Dyner patent for his product (HELIODISPLAY). Dyner found I02 technologies to commercialize heliodisplay .
HOW IT WORKS ? Air is drawn in A cloud of microscopic particles is created Cloud of microscopic particles is ejected So as to create a 3D screen Digital projector unit illuminates the particle cloud Creating a visible image
working Cools it to a level below its dew point For creating artificial screens Screen created by an invisible layer of fine water vapour HEAT PUMP STORES THE CONDENSED PARTICLE CLOUD PROJECTION SCREEN AIR AIR AIR Continue…
specification 1024 x 768 resolution, 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios. 2000:1 contrast ratio Supports all formats Projects any images that would be viewable on a computer screen or televison No specialized hardware or software 3 D compatible

Other display systems with same principle Fog Screen: a display surface made out of a cloud of water vapor diffused into the air as a very dry fog. DNP Holo Screen Holoclear Depth Cube Z1024 display
advantages No screen to project images Device is light weight and can be converted into a furniture Nothing is added to air. Nothing affects air quality projected images and video are two-dimensional, but appear 3D since there is no physical depth reference Heliodisplay does not create fog, so no electronic devices in the room are affected Heliodisplay can be used in any country since it works on 95-115 or 220-240 VAC Heliodisplay, imagery can be seen up to 75 degrees off aspect for a total viewing area of over 150 degrees No special glasses required to see the display Translucency is controlled by the heliodisplay
disadvantages Heliodisplay is very expensive Viewing a Heliodisplay image in direct sunlight is almost impossible Screen is essentially air, so it can become distorted with too much air movement in the room
conclusion Heliodisplay has great potential and would be ideal for collaborative work Heliodisplays is still in the initial stages and the flaws of cost and environment of positioning will soon be overcome. Several other thin air-displays are available but heliodisplay outclasses them, because of the attention it draws and its maintainability, and as a result it has more market value Its various applications such as in advertising, a board room etc suggests that its future scope is very bright.
