CSpace®
Volumetric Imaging System
The CSpace® Volumetric Imaging System (static volume display technology) is the company’s flagship technology that is being rapidly developed. CSpace® uses a clear volumetric image space (think of it as a volumetric/3D projection screen) within which invisible nano-size up-conversion material is dispersed. A volumetric 3D image is rendered when invisible laser beams are precisely directed into the image space, exciting the nano-materials to emit visible light and thus display a full color, volumetric image.
The CSpace® Volumetric Imaging System research and development comprises the following:
- Synthesis of Up-Conversion Nano-Materials: for the three primary colors Red, Green and Blue. The first goal is to develop the nano-material for emitting the green color, followed by blue and red. 3DIcon's research team has announced the successful synthesis of green nano-material (see Volumetric Image Matrix Development Presentation)
- Synthesis of the Image Space: the creation of a Host Matrix embedded with Nano- Materials, this involves dispersing the nano-materials evenly within the host material (polymer/aerogel). The research team has accomplished the creation of the Host Matrix embedded with green light emitting nano-materials. (see Volumetric Image Matrix Development Presentation)
- Development of Electronics and the Control Systems: for the laser projection systems. This includes development of control software, specialized graphics engineering techniques as well as the development of proprietary image rendering algorithms.
- Photonics & Optical Engineering: for image delivery and corrections, involving specialized lens arrangements as well as color spectrum manipulation.

The volumetric image space is synthesized using a proprietary process developed by the scientists at OU. While a variety of materials are being evaluated, our research has primarily focused on developing the material using polymers and aerogel.
CSpace® technology is best suited for applications in:
a) scanning based application for medical and CAD/CAM and architecture
b) security applications involving scanning; b) entertainment and gaming
c) geo-spatial for weather mapping and oil and gas exploration
d) 3D imaging based control, navigation for military, air traffic control, and urban planning.
We anticipate the emergence of commercially viable products as by-products of our R&D efforts in multiple areas. Pixel Precision® is a product that has emerged from the research in the area of Electronics and Control Systems for CSpace®.
To our knowledge only a few other companies are developing volumetric 3D technology. We believe that this technology will be setting the standards for sophistication and elegance in terms of simplicity, color depth, definition, resolution as well as fast refresh rates.
The result? A world of volumetric 3D applications which are truly transformational.
