How loud is a Voxon Photonics VX1 Volumetric Display

  • People often ask how loud our VX1 is. The VX1 has a resonating screen that moves up and down at 15hz. This movement translates to 30 volumes per second of interactive 3D Volumetric content. The noise that is generated consists mainly of turbulent airflow. As is demonstrated in the video, the air flow noise is attenuated with the protective dome that sits on top of the VX1 ( attached under normal circumstance with 4 hex screws ).
    The microphone setting on the YETI mic was set to "omnidirectional" .

    Have to say I was really skeptical for a while because all the videos never had audio/ covered with music. I was like "that's awesome, but I bet it sounds like a jet engine". Great to see that's not such an issue as I originally thought. :)

      Glad to clear this up. To be honest, some of our first displays were noisy because we had bearings in them. We swapped them for polymer bushings several years ago and the noise levels decreased dramatically. The cooling fan for the projector is now the loudest part.

    It looks so cool when you turn it off and the bug just kinda flattens itself. What a great idea for how to create a 3D display.

    So THAT's how it works! I was always wondering. So it's basically just a monitor screen which goes up and down in a fast pace and with a synchronized image in the Z-axis. Somehow this is anticlimactic but better than nothing.

      @@HokoraYinphineit is. There is another channel that has made a review of it and in some moments of the video the camera is looking straight down into the dome. You can very clearly see a tilted mirror projecting the image onto the screen.
      If you read what they said about how this works, they also have said that it is a "high-speed reciprocating screen" that refracts the light as it moves up and down
      There’s also another demonstration online where the person shines a laser into the machine, and the light gets deflected into several directions. Looks very weird honestly, but also confirms what you’re saying
      There’s also another video on youtube of an engineer that made a volumetric display using the exact technique you’re mentioning. He used an old projector, and used the colorwheel control signal to synchronize everything. It looks almost exactly the same, except a bit noisier (probably bc of synchronization/bandwith/control issues)

    Great video - certainly not as loud as I would have imagined, and I suspect there are methods to engineer it quieter if prioritised. Understand this is off topic, but curious about how this technology might scale?

      Pay close attention to when he shuts down the machine. You can see that it vibrates a little bit before it fully stops, that’s because the way it works is that it is essentially a 2D screen that goes up and down extremely fast. There’s a projector below it and the software synchronizes the image with the screen height.

    A mechanical hologram is just as ridiculous as a mechanical television, and for the same reason. The idea that someone ever though that this would be The Future is truly bizarre. Who is ever going to use this? It is worse in every way than any other system I've seen. I can predict exactly where this is going to end up: in a science museum to entertain children for five minutes, and eventually in a Retro Oddities collection where people will laugh that such a thing ever existed. Even now it looks like some victorian technological folly.

      I was intrigued when I didn't know how it worked. Seeing it relies on mechanical motion, with all of the friction, vibration, energy consumption, wear & tear, etc. I came to the same thought as you. This is an oddity, not a viable production technology.
