Bubble Cloud

2016. 10. 10

Abstract :

We introduce Bubble Cloud —a technology that uses a bubble cluster for displaying images onto a screen. Bubble Cloud projects images onto bubbles without confining a fog and can float in the air by changing an operating condition of the bubble cluster such as altering the size of the bubble. Moreover, the user can modify the display because its shape is composed of clusters. A floating bubble cluster can be controlled and adjusted by hand in arbitrary directions by electrifying the bubble cluster.

我々はシャボン玉群を用いた新しいディスプレイBubble Cloudを提案します.Bubble Cloudはシャボン玉内部に煙を入れずとも映像を投影することができ、ヘリウムガスをシャボン玉内部に入れシャボン玉の直径といった操作可能な条件を変更することによりシャボン玉群を空中に浮遊させることができるディスプレイです.さらに,Bubble Cloudはシャボン玉の群から成るためにディスプレイ自体の形を変形することができます.浮遊したシャボン玉群へ電荷を帯電させることにより、空中にあるシャボン玉群は手を近づけた任意の方向に動かすことができます.
