Our Creative Vision
Who We Are
This SIGGRAPH Frontiers workshop is at the forefront of exploring Flying Light Specks. We are passionate about their applications, current advancements, and future possibilities in spatial computing and digital art.
Our workshop attracts industry professionals, researchers, artists, and students, fostering an environment of creativity and innovation. Join us as we delve into the exciting world of Flying Light Specks and their potential.
Illuminations
Workshop Details
An FLS is a miniature drone equipped with a lighting apparatus. It is a building block of next generation displays, ranging from desktop Dronevision (DV) system to a room size holodeck and outdoor settings for spatial computing.
Illuminations
Graphics and animations visible to naked eye.
Swarms of FLSs will illuminate graphics and animations visible to the naked eye. We discuss and end-to-end architecture from content generation to illuminations.
Interactions
Bare-hand interactions with illuminations.
FLS swarms physicalize virtual objects, enabling bare-hand interactions. In response to the human exerted force, a swarm exerts force back against the user consistent with Newtonian physics using the laws of motion, mass, and gravity.
Complementary Tech
Topics in synergy with FLSs.
This visionary workshop articulates how these technologies will be used to realize DVs, holodecks, and spatial computing. It describes the use of complementary technologies that realize the vision of these systems. An example is HoloTiles by Lanny Smoot, SIGGRAPH 2026 keynote speaker, as the flooring of a holodeck. More generally, we examine robots of varying forms, morphologies, and functions in relation to DV, holodecks, and spatial computing.
