Abstract

In this paper, we describe a new type of an autovisible immaterial display, capable of completely disappearing and re-emerging at will. The system reacts to the actions of its users proactively before the users are aware of their participation in any interaction, or even the existence of the display itself. The system is based on a vanishing immaterial projection screen presenting images seemingly in thin air, and constant tracking of potential users in its vicinity. Real-time tracking enables the system to produce monoscopic virtual environments in addition to the traditional interactive content. Several implemented applications are presented.
