Gushed Diffusers: Fast-moving, Floating, and Lightweight Midair Display

UIST 2016 Demos 2016

We present a novel method for fast-moving aerial imaging using aerosol-based fog screens. Conventional systems of aerial imaging cannot move fast because they need large and heavy setup. In this study, we propose to add new tradeoffs between limited display time and payloads. This system employ aerosol distribution from off-the-shelf spray as a fog screen that can resist the wind, and have high portability. As application examples, we present wearable application and aerial imaging on objects with high speed movements such as a drone, a radio-controlled model car, and performers. We believe that our study contribute to the exploration of new application areas for fog displays and expand expressions of entertainments and interactivity.
