Burton creates a system that allows 3D holographic images to be projected in the air 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 points 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 to have created a true 3D moving image 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 of today's 3D devices project images onto a 2D screen, and make the images look like they're in 3D through an optical illusion. However, This new device displays images as they are in the air, so it allows 3D objects to be seen naturally”, The company points out.

The compact display, baptized as Super Real Vision, uses a “Plasma emission phenomenon near the focal point of the focused laser light”. By controlling the position of the focal point at the x coordinates, Y and Z, displays real 3D images constructed by arrays of dots in the air. For now, can be built 50.000 points per second at a rate of 10-15 Fps, well below the million +pixels of HDTV. 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 Shows, according to Burton, which is already working on more powerful lasers to magnify the image. The team will present its latest version at IBC 2012.
