Workshop Overview
An FLS is a miniature drone equipped with a lighting primitive. It is a building block of next generation displays, ranging from desktop Dronevision 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 an 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 Technology
Enabling technology in support of Dronevision, Holodecks, and Spatial Computing.
This workshop discusses complementary technologies to realize the vision of Dronevision, Holodeck, and Spatial Computing. 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.
