For those who may not know about Voxon's volumetric holograms, a volumetric hologram is a three-dimensional display made from a grid of LED lights that rotate in a cylinder and flash in a specific order to create the appearance of a 3D image. In the case of the Voxon VX2, this means it has a matrix with a resolution of 8 million voxels per volume and a refresh rate of 30 volumes per second. The company highlights its "VLED" technology, which further enhances the viewing experience. Voxon states that VLED technology forms the backbone of the imaging processes that control the LED matrix, allowing for advanced control over the matrix. Moreover, VLED enables the creation of products that can differ in size and resolution without altering the fundamental design.
Display Specifications
The Voxon VX2 is capable of generating a cylindrical image measuring 256 mm in diameter and 256 mm in height, utilizing the entire internal space for displaying 3D visuals. Users need to employ Voxon's Unity workflow to upload their 3D files to the display, as it supports standard 3D file formats. Interaction with the VX2 is facilitated by a D6OF (six degrees of freedom) controller included with the device, which allows users to manipulate the 3D objects on display. Additionally, Voxon’s software expands the display's compatibility with various hardware, enabling more input options like motion sensors, game controllers, and custom devices.
Unique Use Cases
Given the specialized nature of this display technology, the potential applications are expected to be equally distinctive. Voxon sees the VX2 as ideal for public displays, exhibitions, trade shows, and similar retail environments. However, the price tag of $6,800 may be a considerable investment for many. To help those interested in experiencing the display, Voxon provides a VX2 simulator on its website, allowing users to get a feel for how it works.
