Abstract
A spatial projection apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an optical medium that diffuses a projected light. The apparatus further includes a light guide optical system that guides the projected light diffused by the optical medium and forms an image on a spatial imaging unit. The optical medium can be formed with a plate shape, a film shape, a three-dimensional shape including unevenness, in smoke-form, fluid-form, or mist-form.
Claims8
A spatial projection apparatus comprising:
- an optical medium that diffuses a projected light;
- and
- a light guide optical system that guides the projected light diffused by the optical medium and forms an image on a spatial imaging unit,
- wherein
- the optical medium diffuses the projected light formed into an image on the optical medium, and
- the light guide optical system reimages the projected light diffused by the optical medium on the spatial imaging unit.
A spatial projection system comprising:
- an optical medium that diffuses a projected light;
- and
- a light guide optical system that guides light diffused by the optical medium and forms an image on a spatial imaging unit,
- wherein the optical medium diffuses the projected light formed into an image on the optical medium, and
- the light guide optical system reimages the projected light diffused by the optical medium on the spatial imaging unit.
A spatial projection method comprising:
- diffusing a projected light by an optical medium;
- forming an image on a spatial imaging unit with the projected light which is diffused by the optical medium, wherein the projected light is guided by a light guide optical system;
- diffusing the projected light formed into an image on the optical medium by the optical medium;
- and
- reimaging the projected light diffused by the optical medium on the spatial imaging unit by the light guide optical system.
