Abstract:
1. A volumetric display apparatus, comprising: a physical volumetric shape model having a side surface and an upper surface; a reflection mirror disposed at the side surface; a control device which stores image information of surface textures of the upper surface and the side surface; and a projector that projects a projection including a surface texture of an upper surface of a three-dimensional object and a surface texture of a side surface of the three-dimensional object; wherein the surface texture of the upper surface of the three-dimensional object is directly projected onto the upper surface of the physical volumetric shape model and the surface texture of the side surface of the three-dimensional object is projected onto the side surface of the physical volumetric shape model via the reflection mirror, based on the image information from the control device; wherein the reflection mirror is composed of a half mirror to allow the side surface of the physical volumetric shape model to be viewed through the reflection mirror.
