The original M1 units produced by IO2 were advanced prototypes and proof-of-concept. These are the first Heliodisplay developed by the IO2 Technology. They have all the above said properties. But they have less fidelity than the future systems although adopted various ion-discharge plates and showcased in 2003. This first generation Heliodisplay supported only a 22” image and utilized an IR light source and an IR camera to track the position of a finger for cursor controlling the images.
