 3 Introduction

 Hi-Tech projector that display pictures in the 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.
4 History
 Developed by Chad Dyner .

 In 2005 US patent office granted Dyner patent for

HELIODISPLAY.

 Dyner found IO2 technologies to commercialize

heliodisplay.
5 What is Heliodisplay?
 The Heliodisplay is an air-based display using the
air that is already present in the operating
environment.
 This is similar in principle to the cinematic
technique of rear projection.
6 Cinematic technique of rear
projection.
7 Principle and Working

9

Heliodisplay is similar to cinematic technique

of rear projection.
A heliodisplay runs on particles already present
in the air.
These particles are held together by surface
tension and form a cloud that can act as a
screen.
 By changing the molecular properties of this
cloud, the qualities of the image, like brightness
and sharpness, can also be changed.

 Heliodisplay transforms water in to a unique screen of fine
vapor, suspended in mid air to create nearly invisible screen
in to which any image can be projected.

 This vapor curtain is sandwiched between layers of clean air

to create an acceptable screen.

 The vapour screen is a particle cloud created by passing the

surrounding air through a heat pump which in turn cools the
air to a level below its dew point.

 These particle cloud consists of individual micro-droplets

,held together by surface tension.

Developments in Heliodispaly

 MODEL M1
 MODEL M2
 MODEL M3 and MODEL M30
 MODEL M50 and MODEL M100
 MODEL L90
 P -SERIES
 14 Model M1

The original M1 units produced by IO2 were

advanced prototypes.
 These are the first heliodisplay developed by the IO2
technologies. But they have less fidelity. These first
generation heliodisplays support only a 22” image.
15 Model M2

- The second-generation M2 Heliodisplay

supports a 30" image. The interactive M2i
version includes virtual touchscreen
capability.
16 MODEL M3 and M30
 Apart from displaying at a standard ratio of 4:3 in
addition it also displays 16:9 widescreen ratio
17 MODEL M50 and M100
 The M50 has a 50” diagonal image, equivalent to
displaying a life-size head-and-shoulders person.
The M100 has a 100” diagonal image, equivalent
to displaying a large full-body person .
18 P-Series
 P-series incorporate an optical sync between
components that they are in direct
 Communication link so only one button or trigger
is required to operate as they all turn on and shut
down in sync.
19 Key Features
 No other additives or chemicals are needed only plain tap
water is necessary.
 Similar to other display darker the ambience brighter the
image.
 Viewing requires no special glasses or any other
background or foreground screening.
 Turn on and off with one click.
 Pass objects, people through the image.
 Images can be seen up to 75 degrees off aspect similar to
lcd screen.
20 Disadvantages

Needs controlled lighting for best working

conditions.
 Images becomes less visible under bright light.
Wind and bright light interferes with image
visibility.
Expensive.
Proposed applications for the real-
21
world Heliodisplay include:
 Advertising and Promotion.
 Simulation & Training.
 Consumer, e.g.: video games;
home theatre.
 Collaborative Decision
Making.
.
22 Conclusion
Heliodisplay is a good projection unit which does not
require any chemicals and support videos and jpg images,
flash, quicktime etc. It is a relatively new technology and
is still being developed. Heliodisplay works as a kind of
floating display and touch screen, making it possible to
manipulate images projected in air with our fingers.
