Ever since science fiction opened up minds about what is possible, people have been wondering when flying cars, hovercrafts, and holographic messages would become a reality. While we won't be seeing hover cars on the main street anytime soon, we may just be one step closer to those holographic messages.
Leia Display Systems (LDS) is an innovation in display technology. It creates a large touchscreen; the LDS uses light, water-vapor, and air to project images on a fine mist. The LDS is also interactive with built in sensors keeping track of movement from users. This means users can put their hands through it, rotate objects, and walk through the screen. There's no doubt the technology looks impressive if the videos on LDS' site are anything to go by. The short clip shows the LDS in action from a model walking through a screen of feathers to then sprout wings to a Mercedes Benz driving through the invisible curtain and have it shatter like glass.
Right now, the technology is being cited for advertising companies, but the video featured on the website mentions the LDS being used for gaming without specifying how. The LDS is currently available in two different sizes: the smaller LDS S-95 measuring 95 x 65 cm and the LDS X-300 measuring 3m x 2.5m. In terms of consumption, the S-95 uses around 400ml of water per hour, while the X-300 model uses 4 liters per hour. Anyone interested in having one of these for their next business event or grand party can rent or buy a unit. Prices available on request.
