Abstract
There is a constant demand in the construction industry to decorate large interior surfaces with pictures, patterns and ornaments. However, skilled labor is often not accessible, and existing techniques capable of applying images to large, complex geometric surfaces require highly skilled stitching work and are subject to alteration on site. We are developing an affordable laser projection system that can create images on large surfaces using a specific laser wavelength that causes a permanent color change in custom coatings of complex surfaces.
Historically, this problem of synthesis between form and surface dates back to the first formation of clay vessels and the addition of surface articulation as a glaze later. It's a universal geometric problem, and so we began this research by looking back, learning from the history of Chinese ceramics, where craftsmen were able to balance an intricate mastery of the reactions of materials, shape and glaze during the firing process.
