ASKA3D Aerial Display: The Future of Building Experiences Is Already Here
Imagine your building lobby where visitors interact with a floating digital reception panel — no screen, no surface, no touch required. Picture your shopping mall atrium displaying a vivid, mid-air brand visual that stops foot traffic dead. Envision your office elevator with a contactless floor-selection panel that requires zero physical touch.
This is not science fiction. This is ASKA3D — Japan’s patented aerial imaging technology, now available to building owners, shopping mall management teams, and business owners in Singapore.
What Is ASKA3D?
ASKA3D is an aerial display system that projects real, full-colour images and interactive interfaces into mid-air — visibly floating in space with no screen, no mist, and no special glasses required.
Developed and manufactured in Japan by Asukanet Co., Ltd., ASKA3D uses a proprietary optical plate — the ASKA3D Plate — based on a patented technology called the Dihedral Corner Reflector Array (DCRA). Light from a display source passes through the specially structured glass or resin plate, and the two-perpendicular-mirror micro-structure within it reconverges that light at an equal distance on the opposite side — forming a sharp, real, floating image in open air.
The result is an image that appears to exist in physical space. No projection surface. No fog. No headset. Just a vivid, floating visual that your visitors, tenants, and customers can see — and interact with — instantly.
ASKA3D holds international patents on this technology. The precision micro-mirror structure — patterned at hundreds of micron intervals — is manufactured exclusively in Japan to the tolerances required for sharp aerial imaging.
The ASKA3D Product Range
ASKA3D offers a complete product ecosystem for commercial and architectural applications:
ASKA3D Plates (Glass & Resin)
The core optical component. Available in multiple sizes from 200mm to 1050mm, in both glass and resin variants:
Glass ASKA3D Plates
(ASKA3D-200 to ASKA3D-1050): Superior image clarity and brightness. Ideal for high-impact signage, large-format aerial displays, and premium architectural installations. The ASKA3D-1050 is the largest plate in the range — delivering large-scale aerial imaging for flagship installations such as mall atriums, hotel lobbies, and premium office receptions.
Resin ASKA3D Plates
(ASKA3D-200NT, ASKA3D-250NT): Cost-effective without sacrificing quality. Suited to mass-deployment applications — multiple elevator floors, multi-unit retail installations, and high-volume integration projects where per-unit cost is a factor.
The displayed image area covers approximately 70% of the plate surface area — delivering large, clear aerial visuals even at the entry-level plate sizes.
ASKA3D Aerial Display Unit
A complete, plug-and-play aerial display solution. The unit integrates the ASKA3D Plate, LCD monitor, infrared motion sensor, and housing into a single ready-to-deploy device — connectable to any Windows PC. No custom integration required. Deploy in your lobby, retail space, or office and begin operating your aerial touchless interface immediately.
Ukuu Live Stage Series
For premium experiential installations — virtual characters, brand mascots, or live human presenters appearing in real physical space. The Ukuu Live Stage enables two-way interactive communication with virtual or remote presenters projected into mid-air. Ideal for flagship retail events, brand activations, museum installations, and premium hospitality experiences.
Why ASKA3D for Singapore Buildings & Commercial Spaces?
1. Fully Touchless Interaction — Built for a Post-Pandemic World
Singapore’s commercial real estate sector has permanently elevated hygiene expectations. Tenants, visitors, and shoppers expect touchless experiences across lobby directories, elevator controls, visitor registration, and wayfinding systems.
ASKA3D delivers a contactless touch panel — the interface floats in air, and motion sensors (compatible with Intel RealSense, Leap Motion, and Sony Depthsensing Solutions) detect mid-air gestures to register selections. No physical contact. No contamination risk. No cleaning downtime.
For building managers and facilities officers, this means reduced maintenance burden and a demonstrably higher standard of hygiene infrastructure — a material advantage in tenant retention and new lease negotiations.
2. A Landmark First Impression in Your Lobby or Atrium
Your building entrance is your brand. A floating aerial display at reception, in your lobby, or suspended above your mall atrium creates an immediate, unforgettable impression that no conventional digital signage can replicate.
ASKA3D is deployed globally in retail environments, museums, government facilities, tourism venues, restaurants, and automotive showrooms — precisely because the floating image commands attention in a way that flat screens cannot.
For shopping mall management teams, aerial display technology positioned at key traffic intersections drives dwell time, creates organic social media sharing moments, and elevates the experiential premium of your property — all critical factors in competing against e-commerce and driving footfall in 2025 and beyond.
3. Dynamic Digital Signage That Changes Everything
The ASKA3D Plate is content-agnostic. Connect it to any display source and you can show wayfinding maps, promotional content, product launches, building directories, event schedules, or brand campaigns — updating content remotely without physical intervention.
For office building owners and facilities managers, this replaces static signage with a dynamic, updateable aerial display platform that can serve multiple functions simultaneously: visitor management, floor directories, emergency information, and tenant branding.
4. Multiple Viewing Orientations for Any Architectural Context
ASKA3D Plates can be configured for five distinct viewing orientations — front-facing, top-down (looking down), floor projection, side-view, and upward-viewing — making the technology adaptable to virtually any architectural context, from ceiling-mounted atrium installations to floor-embedded interactive wayfinding for malls.

How much does an ASKA3D display cost in Singapore?
The page doesn’t list a fixed price, and pricing isn’t given in specific figures anywhere on it. Auronova positions itself as the authorised ASKA3D partner in Singapore and directs enquiries to a quote request (“Get a Quote for Your Space”), so cost would depend on plate size, unit configuration, and installation requirements. If you want a stated price range added to the page and FAQ, that needs to come from the client rather than me estimating one.
