ABSTRACT
In this paper, we describe AiRound, an optical system that displays mid-air images that can be viewed from any direction. Mid-air images are touchable floating images formed by retroreflective transmissive optical elements that can seamlessly connect the virtual world to real space without special equipment. However, they are limited by three problems, including a limited range of observation, the visibility of the light source from the outside, and the aesthetically displeasing of stray light. The proposed system combines view control films and micromirror array plates to form a mid-air image that can be observed from 360 degrees by rotating these components at high speed.

Floagent: Interaction with Mid-Air Image via Hidden Sensors
SA '22: SIGGRAPH Asia 2022 Emerging TechnologiesThis paper proposes Floagent as a human-computer interaction system that displays images in mid-air using infrared light reflected by a hot mirror. Floagent is an interaction system that allows users to focus on mid-air images without being aware of ...
EnchanTable: Displaying a Vertically Standing Mid-air Image on a Table Surface using Reflection
ITS '15: Proceedings of the 2015 International Conference on Interactive Tabletops & SurfacesWe propose a novel display method, EnchanTable, that can augment a table surface with mid-air images. Users can interact with visual images displayed on the table by using real objects. In our optical design, we place an optical imaging device behind a ...
