Visualisation Tool for Complex 3D Fractals on Volumetric Displays

Observing complex 3D fractals, such as Mandelbulb and Mandexbox, and examining their interesting details is very useful in using them for visual effects in media works, 3D arts, etc. However, the observation on a 2D display is different from their actual three-dimensional appearance. In this paper, we used a 3D volumetric display to visualise them in real 3D space. Furthermore, these 3D fractals were visualised on a commercially available stereoscopic display, and the differences in stereoscopic effect were compared.
