Abstract

In this study, we describe the fabrication of a high-resolution directional volumetric display that can display multiple images in different directions. The display designs can be used to show animations using strings; however, improving the resolution of such displays is difficult. Previously, the arrangement of strings has only been determined experimentally, making fabrication of volumetric displays a challenge. The goal of the present study is to improve resolution using simulations and to determine the arrangement of strings under three constraints. This simplified the fabrication of a directional volumetric display with 345 strings, which can display two different $20\times 20\text{pixel}$ images in two different directions. A large high-resolution directional volumetric display can be fabricated using the proposed method. The string-type display has high artistic potential and is expected to find applications in the amusement and entertainment fields.
