The Heliodisplay is a
free-space display developed
by IO2 technologies. A
projector is focused onto a
layer of mist in mid-air,
resulting in a two-dimensional
display that appears to float.
This similar in principle to
the cinematic technique of
rear projection. As dark areas
of the image may appear
invisible, the image may be
more realistic than on a
projection screen, although it
is still not volumetric.
Looking directly at the
display, one would also be
looking into the projector's
light source. The necessity of
an oblique viewing angle may
be a disadvantage.

Heliodisplay can work as a
floating touchscreen when
connected to a PC by a USB
cable. With the supplied
software installed, one can
use a finger, pen, or another
object as cursor control and
navigate or interact with
simple content.
