Patent ID: 8289274

Claim:
A volumetric three-dimensional display capable of presenting temporally fused graphical and/or computer images or scenes to at least one viewer comprising: a particulate material or media; a particulate formation or provision mechanism; a particulate emission mechanism; a mechanism for projecting or writing on or into particulate; at least some hardware or software supporting at least one aspect of one or more of data storage, data communication, data formatting, data projection or writing, display-powering, display control, image-volume ambient-control or particulate-manipulation; at least some particulate or particulates emitted in spatial arrangements comprising at least one projection screen, projectable surface, projectable object-surface, projectable shell of an object or projectable-arrangement and being positioned or oriented, at least momentarily, at least one position or orientation in an image volume, to receive projected or beam-written graphics or data corresponding to at least one image-volume, image-volume sub-slice or to at least one image-volume spatial position or orientation in the image volume; and visually temporally-fused three dimensional image content being provided by optical-projection, image-wise projection or projected beam-writing upon or into one or more emitted projection or beam-written screens, surfaces or shells or arrangements in multiple such positions or orientations and/or over time.
