Advanced 3D Acoustic Levitator and Light Projection

Phased Array Max Speed: 9m/sec | Full 360 degree rotational freedom

Our C++ controls integrated with a Unity front-end to design in-air animations set to the ultrasonic transducer phased array, rapidly creating high pressure nodes in air based on the user's 3D configuration input.

LED light projection follows the node, creating 3D images in free space
