I wonder if anyone has built multi-speed “layered” swept volumetric displays. For the center part, you would still just have one screen, but as you go further out, you’d have “spokes”, so that each screen only has to sweep a small angle (and roughly constant distance) during a frame, so that it rotates at lower RPM, and has to update fewer times.

You would still need a bare minimum of 1-2 kHz, and a lot of screens, and balancing every layer would be super difficult, but I don’t think anything about it is fundamentally impossible with current technology.

Not exactly sure what the details, but there high quality, commercial products that are probably doing something like this: https://voxon.co/products/

This is a sweeping display, it moves up and down rapidly with a projector beneath it. Same idea. I saw a demo once in NYC and it blew my mind.
