VOLUMETRIC DISPLAY SYSTEM BLENDING TWO LIGHT TYPES TO PROVIDE A NEW DISPLAY MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A method for creating a volumetric display, comprising:
- projecting a first light type onto a planar projection surface to display first content;
concurrently with the projection of the first light type, first projecting a second light type that differs from the first light type onto the planar projection surface to display second content that at least partially overlays the displayed first content; and
second projecting the second light type onto a three dimensional (3D) set of reflective elements, whereby the second content moves between the planar projection surface and the 3D set.

Abstract
A method for creating a volumetric display. The method includes projecting a first light type onto a planar projection surface to display first content and, concurrently with projection of the first light type, first projecting a second light type onto the planar projection surface to display second content that at least partially overlays the displayed first content. The method includes second projecting the second light type onto a three dimensional (3D) set of reflective elements, whereby the second content moves between the planar projection surface and the 3D set. The first light type may be non-coherent light and the second light type may be laser light (or coherent light). While projected on the planar projection surface, the coherent light is at a first illumination level that matches or is somewhat greater than the non-coherent light, and a second much higher illumination level is used when projecting onto the 3D set.

10. A volumetric display system, comprising:
-
a first canvas; a second canvas including at least one projection surface that is non-planar to the first canvas; and a projection system concurrently projecting video content onto the first canvas and particle-based content on the first canvas for a first time period and on the second canvas for a second time period, whereby the particle-based content is blended with the video content in an area of the first canvas during the first time period. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method of generating media for a volumetric display, comprising:
-
selecting a set of 2D video content for projection with a video projector on a planar surface over a timeline; generating a 3D model of the planar surface and of projection surfaces within a 3D set associated with the planar surface; defining a set of particle-based shapes for projection on the planar surface and on the projection surface of the 3D set with a laser projector; and generating a trajectory of the set of particle-based shapes over the timeline, wherein the trajectory maps the set of particle-based shapes to a plurality of positions on the planar surface and the projection surface of the 3D set. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
