Abstract
At fireworks shows and other venues where smoke is generated, waiting until the smoke clears before launching the next firework is a waste of time and lack of interest on the part of the spectators. This invention is a fireworks method that utilizes the smoke from fireworks to produce images by projection such as projection mapping.
Claims7
A method of displaying images in air comprising:
- launching a first firework into the air, the first firework igniting while in the air to emit first light and generate smoke;
- projecting, using at least one projector, an image on the smoke generated by the first firework, the image being a text image or graphic image;
- and
- launching a second firework into the air, the second firework igniting while in the air to emit second light,
- wherein the projecting the image on the smoke generated by the first firework is performed after the launching of the first firework and before the launching of the second firework,
- the launching the second firework into the air is performed after the launching the first firework into the air and while the image is being projected on the smoke generated by the first firework in the projecting so that the second firework ignites in the air while the image is being projected on the smoke generated by the first firework in the projecting, and
- in the projecting, the image projected on the smoke is visible on the ground from multiple directions, and the image is projected on the smoke so as to be approximately positioned at a point where the first light is emitted by the igniting of the first firework.
