The display of 2D images is fundamental to nearly all forms of visual presentation, and pursuing display methods based on insight of human perception may reveal many new possibilities. Information display should be thought of as a conjunction of both the human and the device, and there are still many resources available on the human side. Here, we propose a 2D information display system, which uses perceptional features during eye movements. » Continue Reading
The Holoscreen is a revolutionary holographic film which displays any image fed through a projector at a specific angle on to a transparent display. All other light is ignored. The result is a remarkably bright and sharp image quality - even in brightly lit environments. The screen is a 1.5m x 1.0m rectangle of 10mm glass with a 610mm x 814mm sheet of translucent attached to it. Any type of projector can be used to cast the image. To complete the futuristic setup, a pair of optional Ferguson Hill FH001 speakers can be positioned either side of the screen. » Continue Reading
