Definitions
- the invention relates to a device and a method for generating light effects, with at least one radiation source which at least temporarily emits at least one beam formed by coherent radiation at least in the visible region, an exposure room, a projection area arranged in the exposure room, in which the radiation is exposed to at least one person, at least one beam guiding device which has at least one beam exit and is able to guide the beam emerging therefrom within the projection area via movable and motor-driven means for beam deflection.
- the invention further relates to a method for producing light effects, in which a person is irradiated with light in different colors in order to increase well-being.
- German utility model 295 19 481 describes a device for the therapy and prophylaxis of pressure ulcers. This device stimulates the so-called ATP synthesis in order to stimulate sore areas of a body in such a way that the body's wound healing is improved.
- a so-called low-level laser is used, which irradiates the affected parts of the body, the cell's metabolism being stimulated as a result of the irradiation.
- a wavelength between 180 and 1000 nm is used, the power of the laser is between 1 and 120 mW.
- color therapies for example from the sauna sector, are generally known, in which different colors, usually the primary colors red, yellow, green and blue, are directed onto a body using headlights. This diffuse light then illuminates the sauna room in the respective color in order to achieve the color therapy effect.
- the object of the invention is therefore to create a device and a method for producing light effects which, with increased perception, can direct different colors onto the body of a person.
- this object is achieved according to the invention with regard to the device in that the projection area is arranged at a distance of at least 100 cm from the beam exit, that the beam guiding device has at least one means for beam expansion and is able to continuously guide the beam widened thereby over the projection area.
- this object is achieved in that, in a closed exposure space, several partial beams of a laser beam source are directed onto or next to at least the person positioned at a distance from the beam exit of the partial beams, the partial beams being expanded in such a way that a harmless radiation intensity is directed onto the body of the person is exposed and the
- Partial beams in the visible range with different wavelengths with a moving beam path irradiate the person or the room adjacent to the person.
- coherent light in particular the radiation from a laser
- the person on whom the effects are supposed to act is seated in the projection area of the laser radiation, which is preferably even further than 1 m from the beam exit point.
- the laser radiation can be generated, for example, by a white light laser that encompasses all wavelengths in the visible range.
- the beam is directed onto the person or the area next to the person via the beam guiding device, it being essential to the invention that the person is
- Beam travels a line of motion to create a moving image for the person. So that the person is not injured by the laser radiation, in particular looking into the radiation is harmless, the laser beam is expanded to such an extent that the surface intensity becomes so low that the eye or the skin cannot be damaged.
- the exposure room is preferably soundproof or soundproofed and darkened from the outside to protect against incident light. In this way, the best effects can be achieved.
- the beam guiding device now guides the beam over the body of the person, who is able to perceive the intensity distribution over the body not only visually but also emotionally. Experiments have shown that even the radiation components that do not directly affect the person but affect the area of the aura close to the body are perceived by the person.
- the white light laser is broken down into different partial beams using beam splitters, which may have the same or different wavelengths.
- the beam splitters can be conventional optical elements, such as prisms or irradiated holograms.
- the invention does not use a low-level laser, but rather a powerful device that can achieve corresponding brightnesses and color distributions over a larger area.
- One or more people can be irradiated with the device at the same time, and besides the optical effect, stimulation of the brain, the glands and the vegetative nervous system can also be achieved.
- polarized light can be particularly effective in the case of the interaction via the vibration behavior, since the vibration behavior, that is to say the excitation of the individual molecules, can be influenced directly here.
- the beam is preferably not only widened, but also modulated in its shape.
- a surface effect can be achieved using appropriate lenses or diaphragms, and it is also possible to achieve optical effects in space by moving holograms that reflect the beam.
- it can make sense to add a further reflection medium to the room, so that reflections of the light are visible in the field of view in front of the person for the visual stimulation of the person.
- All non-toxic vapors, in particular water vapor can be used as the reflecting medium.
- these vapors also have the advantage that the person is also influenced psychologically by the special optical effect of the rising vapor, which often contributes to increasing the effect without being scientifically explainable.
- the effect achieved can be manipulated in various ways by adding odorous substances. Soothing substances or stimulating smells can be used, and a certain memory image can be specifically awakened by the choice of the odorant.
- the laser is not in direct contact with the beam guiding device, but is optically connected to it via optical waveguides or a beam path formed by mirrors.
- the laser with its additional devices can be arranged in a neighboring room, which on the one hand makes it possible to use a laser for different sessions in different rooms by selectively dividing or deflecting the beam, and on the other hand the quite complex cooling and the to keep the associated operating noise away from the actual exposure room.
- several lasers can also be used, both for loading one exposure room and for loading several exposure rooms.
- all other types of laser can of course also be used as beam sources; in particular, a single laser can also be used for each color. However, in practice it will turn out that this will probably not be very economical. However, depending on the device development, this may change in the future, so that a device can also consist of several lasers. Depending on the desired intensity, beam guiding devices and thus beam exits can be arranged at all positions in the room. So the person can be illuminated from both the front and the back, so that not only all parts of the body can be irradiated, but also different optical effects can be achieved due to the more or less visible beam path, especially in the presence of vaporous reflection media.
- vaporous reflection media instead of vaporous reflection media, it is of course also possible to use solid bodies onto which the radiation can be projected. The effect can be supported by arranging partially transparent or fully reflecting bodies in the room, which allow any effects.
- the psyche of the person can be further influenced by playing music or other sequences of tones, here too a calming effect can be achieved to enable the person to deal more intensively with what they have experienced.
- the wavelengths of the partial beams used are preferably between 300 and 900 nm, often they will be between 400 and 800 nm. Waves with these wavelengths have been found to be particularly effective, although other wavelengths could be used depending on the application. Finally, different wavelengths can also be used depending on the irradiated part of the body. It has been found that a different wavelength is perceived as particularly beneficial in the area of the head than in the area of the legs.
- At least two partial beams which are at least temporarily at a distance from one another which is not substantially greater than 50 cm.
- the aim of this special beam guidance is to irradiate essentially a large part of the body of the person, so that a maximum effect can be achieved.
- a large part of the body will preferably be irradiated in the method according to the invention, so that the total radiation leads to a special effect.
- the beam guiding devices have a motor drive which can effect the beam or the partial beams along the desired line of motion by driving the deflecting mirror or other optical elements.
- This motor drive will generally be computer-controlled, so that different lines of motion and patterns can be stored in the computer. In this way, complete show programs can be saved and then called up.
- a further preferred embodiment of the invention has a possibility of recognizing the position of the person in the projection area, so that the regulation for the beam guiding devices can be aligned at this position. Not only can a different positioning of the person within the projection area be compensated, but also a movement of the person during the course of the pre-stored program can be compensated.
- Another preferred additional equipment of the devices is that a so-called bio-feedback is carried out.
- certain body characteristics can be recorded using suitable sensors, the measured quantity of which can then have a direct influence on the control of the beam guiding devices.
- the local body temperature can also be measured or just the intensity of movement of the body can be recorded using cameras.
- the control of the device can then be programmed in such a way that when a certain tolerance range for regulating undesired effects is exceeded, either the beam path changes, the framework conditions are adjusted, or the duration of the light immission is extended. If, for example, the light effect is to cause the person to calm down, the session can be extended if it is determined via the blood pressure that the desired state of calm has not yet occurred. Furthermore, a certain effect can be intensified by adding more soothing music or by using scents.
- the laser radiation used can be emitted by a continuous laser or by a pulsed laser.
- the wavelength increases with increasing distance between the area assigned to it and the head of the living being. For example, for the head and neck of a person, a wavelength of approximately 400 nm, corresponding to violet light, for the chest, a wavelength of 450 nm, corresponding to blue light, and for the
- Belly a wavelength of approximately 550 nm, corresponding to green light, are provided.
- the abdomen can then be irradiated with a wavelength of 470 nm (yellow light) and the lower legs and knees with a wavelength of approximately 600 nm (orange light). It is also possible to continuously change the wavelength so that the light falls on the person in the form of a rainbow. This can be achieved, for example, using prisms in the beam guiding device.
- the desired wavelength can be filtered out of a partial beam divided out of the total beam by means of a color filter, which may be formed by an acousto-optical modulator, for example.
- a color filter which may be formed by an acousto-optical modulator, for example.
- Such a filter device can have an adjustable pass curve, so that this filter function can also be controlled by an electric motor.
- Different waves can then be filtered out successively in accordance with a predetermined time sequence, which waves can be directed onto the respectively desired areas of the body with the aid of the beam guiding device, which is controlled synchronously with the color filter.
- Different partial beams can be expanded to different dimensions. For example, a person's head can be covered in blue with an approximately 50 cm thick beam in parallel, while his kidneys are irradiated with an approximately 15 cm thick beam in yellow and the knee with an approximately 10 cm thick red beam.
- the method according to the invention can only be carried out with prismatic light refraction.
- Color filters can be used but are not a prerequisite for carrying out the process.
- FIG. 1 shows the structure of a device according to the invention for representing light effects by means of coherent laser radiation.
- the pre direction has a beam source 4, here a white light laser.
- the radiation source 4 feeds beam guiding devices 5 with laser light via optical waveguides 3, the laser light being divided into different partial beams with different wavelengths in the beam guiding devices.
- the beam guiding device 5 shown here in the center is designed as a controllable beam guiding device 5, which can be controlled via a sequence control 1, here formed by a conventional PC.
- a power supply 2 supplies the laser beam source 4 with current.
- the exposure room (not shown here) is supplied with music via a music system 3.
