Volumetric display systems, methods, and devices for generating a holographic image within an ambient
atmosphere air display volume (1000) using a columnar laminar flow generation
system. According to an example embodiment, a
volumetric display method and
system includes a columnar laminar flow generation
system (100) combining an input ambient
atmosphere air flow (120) with at least one
particulate flow (110) to generate a plurality of parallel columnar laminar
atmosphere air flow streams (142) and a plurality of parallel columnar laminar atmosphere
particulate flow streams (141) extending through an ambient atmosphere air display volume (1000); and a
laser projection system (300) outputting a plurality of
laser beams (310) representative of the holographic image, each of the plurality of
laser beams (310) aligned to overlap a section (1010) of a single columnar laminar
particulate flow( 141) within the ambient atmosphere air display volume (1000) to illuminate a target particulate flow within the respective overlapping section (1010) of the single columnar laminar particulate flow (141).
