Burton creates a system that allows moving 3D holographic images to be projected into the air

The Japanese company Burton has shown at CES 2012 of Las Vegas its latest application of True 3D Aerial Display technology: 3D holographic tiburors. This 3D visualization technology, which uses a laser to create moving luminous points of light 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 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 current 3D devices 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 be viewed naturally”, they point out from the company.

The compact display, dubbed Super Real Vision, use a “plasma emission phenomenon near the focal point of the focused laser light”. By controlling the position of the focal point in the x coordinates, y and z, shows real 3D images constructed 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 the million +pixels of HDTV. The company is working on increasing the frame rate to 24-30 fps and get a color display by 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 may have applications in digital signage, trade shows and healthcare, according to Burton, which is already working on more powerful lasers to enlarge the image. The team will present its latest version at IBC 2012.
