Ancient | Volumetric Display - model viewer @ancientjames | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 12 minutes ago.
Shoving my phone recklessly close to the spinning voxels of a poorly balanced swept volume display, to try to convey a sense of the depth it achieves.
The display takes advantage of the persistence of vision effect. It's like a hologram fan, but instead of spinning a 1D strip to make a 2D image, it spins a 2D panel to make a 3D image. In person it's not as flickery as it appears in this video - filming it is challenging because to reduce the flicker you have to increase the exposure time, which reduces the framerate of the video.
I've gone for a shorter exposure and more flicker in this video, because I had complaints (so many complaints) about the framerate in a previous video. Even so it's not 30 fps, and the youtube codec struggles badly with the confetti effect of those rapidly shimmering voxels.
The real solution is to increase the spin rate, and that's the ultimate aim of this new design.
