Introduction
Heliodisplay is a technology

used for displaying images in mid air.

In the heliodisplay, a projector

focuses the image onto a layer of mist in mid-air, resulting in a two-dimensional display that appears to float.

Basic units
1. Base Unit 2. Projection Source

Working

The device converts the imaging properties of the air so that the

air is taken in, converted instantaneously, and then re-ejected out The system thus creates a dynamic, non solid particle cloud by ejecting atomized condensate present in the surrounding air Now the projector projects the given input on the found invisible screen

Specifications
1024 x 768 resolution, 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios.
2000:1 contrast ratio Supports all formats

Projects any images that would be viewable on a

computer screen or televison No specialized hardware or software 3D compatible

Advantages
No screen to project images Device is light weight and can be converted into a

furniture Nothing is added to air. Nothing affects air quality projected images and video are two-dimensional, but appear 3D since there is no physical depth reference Heliodisplay does not create fog, so no electronic devices in the room are affected Heliodisplay can be used in any country since it works on 95-115 or 220-240 VAC No special glasses required to see the display

Disadvantages
Heliodisplay is very expensive
Viewing a Heliodisplay image in direct sunlight is

almost impossible Screen is essentially air, so it can become distorted with too much air movement in the room

Applications
Advertising/promotion
Video conferencing Virtual surgery and pre-operative planning

Military training programs

Gaming/artwork Engineering/architecture plans Build the Heliodisplay into furniture

Use of this technology in Iron Man movie at full extend

Fogscreen is a display surface made out of a cloud of water

vapor diffused into the air as a very dry fog

Conclusion
Heliodisplay has great potential and would be ideal for

collaborative work Heliodisplays is still in the initial stages and the flaws of cost and environment of positioning will soon be overcome. Several other thin air-displays are available but heliodisplay outclasses them, because of the attention it draws and its maintainability, and as a result it has more market value Its various applications such as in advertising, a board room etc suggests that its future scope is very bright.
