Outline of Final Research Achievements

A volumetric display is a display device that draws 3D images directly in real 3D space. We developed a volumetric display that can be easily constructed from commercial component parts. Our display creates cross-sectional images of 3D objects in sequence on a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) moving in a reciprocating motion, and 3D images of the objects appear due to the afterimage effect. In this paper, we propose visualization of Quaternion Julia fractals as an application of our display. Quaternion Julia fractals is a mathematically interesting subject. However, their shapes and process of their parameterized deformation are difficult to understand using only 2D images. Our application enables users to view a volumetric 3D animation of their deformation.
