AETHER: Redefining Augmented Perception

---

AETHER is Iryx Technologies' platform for dynamic, mid-air holographic displays using controlled ultrasonic mist as a projection medium. By generating and shaping fine water droplet clouds with piezoelectric arrays, laminar airflow containment, and real-time projection, AETHER creates tangible, interactive 3D illusions—without screens, glasses, or physical surfaces.

Traditional displays are static and confined. AETHER liberates information into the physical world: Ethereal mist volumes act as adaptive "canvases" for light scattering, enabling floating holograms that respond to gestures, voice, or AI. This scalable technology transforms everyday objects into immersive interfaces, blending digital and physical realities for applications in wearables, fashion, automotive, entertainment, and beyond.

The AETHER Band 0.1 is a wrist-worn device that projects personal holographic displays above the arm—health metrics, notifications, virtual controls, or custom visuals—in vivid, mid-air detail. Powered by compact piezo mist generators, a refillable absorbent reservoir, and integrated micro-projectors/fans, it delivers hours of on-demand use in a smartwatch-like form factor.

- Key Features: Gesture interaction, multi-angle viewing, low-power operation, and modular design for rapid iteration.

- Status: Prototype in development (Patent Pending). Early tests demonstrate stable mist containment and sharp projections.

AETHER's modular system extends to:

- Adaptive Clothing: Embedded misters in fabrics for dynamic camouflage, fashion effects, or AR overlays.

- Vehicles: Exterior mist curtains for shape-shifting illusions, enhanced safety signaling, or branded experiences.

- Interactive Retail & Advertising: Walk-through displays in stores/malls for immersive product demos and attention-grabbing promotions.

- Museums, Education & Exhibitions: Volumetric holograms for engaging exhibits, anatomical models, or historical reconstructions.

- Entertainment & Live Events: Stage effects, gaming interfaces, or interactive art installations with touchable projections.

- Large-Scale Architecture: Environmental integrations for public spaces, signage, or thematic environments.
