SplashDisplay.

'SplashDisplay' is a system developed to attempt real time volumetric display. This system implements air pressure generated by an x-y coordinate based projectile launching speaker through a bed of projectile beads to simulate a real-time 3D "explosion" like effect. The projectile beads act as a projection medium for a top-mounted visible light projector; and through synchronized timing of these components, it is possible to create 3D, tangible effects at will. Also, by using IR LED and IR sensitive cameras, user interaction can be added to this system to allow for an interactive surface. The result of these components is a dynamic, interactive, real-time "explosion" simulation game that can be used to confirm the innovative construct of this suggested system.
