A detailed look at the construction of the Vortex, a volumetric display.
This is a swept volume display - it generates a true 3D image by spinning an array of LEDs. The principle is the same as a hologram fan (persistence of vision) display, but extended to three dimensions. The image appears to hang in space, and is viewable from any angle.
