Interactive Hologram Mimicry Using Projector Imaging in a Fine Mist Medium
By Anna
This project aims to simulate hologram technology through the usage of projector-generated images into a fine water mist, creating the appearance of screenless, floating visuals. A projector mounted on an optics bench is shaped using focusing optics to project patterns into the mist, where the light scattering among the suspended droplets makes the image visible from various angles. A mist generator provides a stable projection volume, creating the illusion of a static or rigid physical body. Using motion sensing, this design strives to enable user interaction by modifying projection patterns in response to human movement. The goal of this project is to demonstrate and create a controllable, interactive display that visually mimics holographic effects using optical components and illusion.
