Micropixel Suspension Matrix Display™ (or simply MSM Display™), is an innovative concept which visually depicts information in three physical dimensions.

This apparatus does not attempt to simulate 3-D images on a two-dimensional surface. Rather, it creates real three-dimensional models out of illuminated pixels.

Observers of MSM Display perceive depth and spatial orientation much as they do in real life. Moreover, images created with MSM Display continuously change with real-time data inputs.

MSM Display™ revolutionizes the way people create and experience images. Applications include:

• Air Traffic Control
• Battlefield Management
• Covert Operations
• UAV Guidance and Navigation
• Weapons Guidance and Tracking
• Avionics
• Surveillance, Security, and Law Enforcement
• Medical Diagnostics
• Cartography, Oil, Mining, and Forestry
• Architecture
• Industrial Modeling
• Computer Gaming
• Cinema/Television
• Consumer Electronics
• Robotics/Artificial Vision

Product Details & FAQ

What is the purpose of MSM Display?
MSM Display is intended to ultimately change the way people experience, interpret, and express information.  The embodiment of MSM Display represents a fundamental departure from how information is currently shared.

What is MSM Display?
Micropixel Suspension Matrix Display is a unique and useful way of displaying moving images in three physical dimensions. It does not create representations or simulations of three dimensions. This apparatus creates actual physical models that are experienced by the viewer in much the same way as any ordinary physical objects.

Why is MSM Display needed?
Our senses are adapted to life in a three-dimensional environment.  Spatial orientation and situational awareness are greatly dependant upon our abilities to interpret three-dimensional data.   Human stereoscopic vision in part enables accurately gathering and interpreting that data.  MSM Display allows natural, intuitive interpretation of three-dimensional information.

Doesn't three-dimensional imaging alredy exsit?
The short answer is no. Current Imaging technniques present images on flat screen displays, such as computers, TVs, holograms, or other media.  It is therefore only possible to create two-dimensional images, even when those images are manipulated to simulate three dimensions.  One and two-dimensional objects exist only conceptually, and do not translate into anything real to our senses.  This is why simulated 3-D images look so flat.  They are, in fact, flat. 

Why create models out of pixels?
Only real objects convey information in actual three dimensions. But physical models of real objects are necessarily fixed in time and dimension. Computer simulations of three-dimensional objects cannot provide acceptable depth and spatial information.  Forming models out of pixels allows three-dimensional images to move and change with real-time inputs.

What are the applications for MSM Display Technology?
The ability to display true three-dimensional information creates exciting opportunities for new products that would not otherwise have been possible.  Technologies that will benefit from MSM Display imaging include important defense applications, aerospace and aviation, security and surveillance, medical diagnostics, computer games, television, cinema, law enforcement, industrial modeling, employee management, stockroom mapping, robotics and synthetic vision, cartography, forestry, mining, teaching and educational aids, and more.

How does it work?
This apparatus consists of an optically clear housing, into which precisely controlled laser light is introduced. The interaction between the laser light and chemically active elements suspended within the housing creates three-dimensional images. Computer driven articulating lenses allow generated images to change with real-time inputs.

When will MSM Display become available?
Using a combination of readily available materials with newly emerging nanotechnology, this device can be fabricated by manufacturers currently engaged in the development of opto-electronics products.
