A 3D aerial laser display developed by a team of Japanese researchers that can display text and images in mid air.
A 1kHz infrared pulse fires directly into a 3D scanner which focuses and reflects the laser to specific points in 3D space, ionising air molecules which release energy in the form of photons.
Much as you’d expect.

Tonight, at 6pm, in Filmbase, Temple Bar, Dublin, Women to Blame – a multimedia history of the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution – will be launched by Marie McMahon and Maura Molloy.
It will run until November 17.
Maura Molloy says:
“Gathering the history of the 8th Amendment into one room is no mean feat. Women to Blame allows those of us involved in the 1970s to look back and view our progress. It gives more recent choice activists an opportunity to view their own struggle as a continuation of second wave feminism in the 1970s. Tonight, I look forward to remembering and celebrating 40 years of Irish women’s struggle, with both veteran and young feminists who have taken up the torch.”
Exhibition organiser, Therese Caherty says:
“We see Women to Blame as an act of retrieval, not just of bags of memorabilia given to us by activists throughout the decades, but also of our history. The story of the struggle for contraception and abortion is fragmented and scattered. Our exhibition is a first attempt to bring that story in from the margins, make it whole and make it mainstream.”
