- This paper showed acoustic levitation can produce volumetric displays by quick scanning levitated particles, a challenge deemed impossible before (Smalley, 2018 at nature.com). We propose and characterize control techniques demonstrating not only volumetric content, but also simultaneous mid-air tactile feedback and audio, bringing them all under a single common approach, with extensions to contact-less fabrication and biomedicine. This has attracted interest from related industries (e.g. Sony, SpotBills) and, together with Ultraleap helped secure follow-up funding (AH/T01136X/1). The paper attracted exceptional media attention (e.g. ITV News; Spanish prime-time show “El Hormiguero”), sitting in percentile 98% for similarly-aged publications at nature.com..
