Even while we know that holographic displays are quite ready to rout its other family members ruthlessly, German company Woehburk’s totally transparent projection screens would still draw a huge crowd of buffs.
First thought after seeing this technology that gives glass the ability to act as a rear projection screen puzzled me - how can something that’s transparent reflect [how does my thought matter anyway], when going through the intricacies of the concept or I must say the actuality, I realized its much more than my perception.
The material used is transparent as regular laminated sheet glass that makes the screen unnoticeable when not in use - and picture seems floating in the air. When light’s projected on it, the glass turns into visual screen displaying multimedia content.
In combination of CristalLine glass and acrylic, the multi shapeable screens are unique form of projection media and undoubtedly will sell like hot cakes in all markets. The Woehburk CristalLine screens will be available in different sizes up to 135′ but more than one can be used together, where larger display is a requirement.
Now, the question that had bewildered me initially is well elucidated by the employed technology - between the glass sheet and the acrylic lies a laser-activated ionic reflective material that again has no visible structure but has the reflective quality, the resolution in combination with a high-resolution projectors here can exceed the HD, giving visual experience a new definition.
Belief, the little word is everything to rest here and hope how far-flung is the visualization - and how exciting the utilization that may be at home, out or theater but confusion creeps again - one generates belief just as easily as one destroys them.
