ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed herein a 3-D visual display arrangement having a laser to produce a laser beam. This laser beam is intensity modulated either electro-optically or acoustic-optically by Z-coordinate information. The modulated laser beam is deflected electro-optically, acoustic-optically or by mechanically moved mirrors by the X and Y-coordinate control information. After deflection the laser beam is directed to a reference member supporting a plurality of particles, such as, glass spheres, which are levitated (raised from the surface of the reference member and supported and held in space above the reference member) by the laser beam to provide a real 3-D display of the X, Y and Z-coordinate information.
