Burton creates a system that allows you to project in the air holographic images in 3D in motion

The Japanese company Burton has shown at CES 2012 Las Vegas its latest application of True 3D Aerial Display technology: 3D holographic sharks. This 3D visualization technology, that uses a laser to create luminous spots of light moving in the air or underwater, It is designed to be applied in the digital signage market.

Burton boasts of being the first company in the world that has created a true 3D image in motion that is displayed in the air and without the need for glasses. At CES in Las Vegas, The Japanese company used this technology to create small sharks swimming inside a glass box using a green laser..

“Most 3D devices today project images onto a 2D screen, and make images appear to be in 3D through an optical illusion. However, This new device shows the images as they are in the air, so it allows 3D objects to look naturally”, point from the company.

The compact display, baptized as Super Real Vision, uses a “Plasma emission phenomenon near the focal point of focused laser light”. By controlling the focal point position at x-coordinates, y y z, shows real 3D images built by arrays of points in the air. For now, can be built 50.000 points per second at a speed of 10-15 Fps, well below HDTV's million +pixels. The company is working on increasing the frame rate to 24-30 FPS and get a color display combining red laser, green and blue.

This prototype has been achieved in collaboration with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology and Keio University., The original developers of the system. This technology can have applications in digital signage, Trade and healthcare fairs, according to Burton, that is already working on more powerful lasers to enlarge the image. The team will present its latest version at IBC 2012.
