Screenless TV's Picture Floats In Thin Air
POSTED: 9:06 a.m. EST November 20, 2003
BOSTON -- Imagine watching a TV picture that seems to magically appear in thin air.
It's not a sci-fi fantasy but emerging technology. MIT grad student Chad Dyner has developed a video projector that doesn't have a screen.
The picture simply floats in front of the viewer.
Investor Bob Ely won't say exactly how it works -- but a so-called secret sauce modifies air particles to accept and reflect the image. Ely admits the thin-air TV isn't broadcast quality yet. But he said they have a 42-inch prototype. He adds the military and companies that make trade show displays are interested in their technology.

I can foresee such things as street signs and traffic lights displayed with this technology.

This is WAY cool stuff, NOT holography according to the developers, and it's touch-control capable.

I forsee great things and a whole revolution that will stem from this invention.

Yup, however on his site it says they are not taking any more investors at this time.
