Semi-three-dimensional visualization of electromagnetic field analysis results with volumetric display

When visualizing a 3-D electromagnetic field analysis result, the physical quantity on the surface or the cross-section of the objects is visualized mostly. It is, however, desired to observe the phenomenon inside the objects in 3-D. In this paper, the method to visualize the physical quantity inside the objects with a volumetric display is proposed. The volumetric display is based on a stack of LCDs, and developed to separately display the images on the LCDs. With the volumetric display, the physical quantity, which changes on the different cross-sections of the objects in 3-D, can be visualized simultaneously.
