Fog Screen

FogScreen is a projection technology that allows images and video to be projected onto a screen of dry fog, creating the illusion that the images are floating in midair. It was invented in 2001 by two Finnish virtual reality researchers. FogScreen works by using ultrasonic devices to generate a thin layer of dry fog from tap water, between which images are projected. Potential applications of FogScreen include interactive exhibitions, concerts, product launches, and immersive virtual reality experiences. While expensive currently, FogScreen provides an engaging visual effect and has been successfully used in various entertainment and brand promotion events internationally.

INTRODUCTION
 Inspired by science fiction movies such as Star Wars, two
Finnish virtual reality researchers created theFogScreen to
recreate some of the effects from these movies in real life.

 FogScreen is an exciting new projection technology that


allows to project images and video onto a screen of “dry”
fog, creating the illusion that the images are floating in
midair
Brief History
 It was invented by two Finnish virtual reality
researchers
 FogScreen, which was initially known asWAVE (Walk-
Through Virtual Environment), was announced in
December 2001.
 The first public demonstration of FogScreen was in
Finland in October 2002.
 Till then it is in use in different areas and
improvements are being done to increaseits
effectiveness.
What is a FogScreen?
 It is one type of advanced projecting device
which consumes water and electricity to
form fogs on which images are projected.

 Here the tea-pot is projected on fog generated by a fog


generating device.
Formation of fog screen
• It is formed by using ordinary tap water and digital
technology like ultrasonic device to create a thin layer
of dry fog which is sandwiched betweentwo
air-curtains.
• The fog is created by suspended fog generatingdevice.
• The fog is made up of ordinary tap water with no
chemicals
• FogScreen creates a “dry” fog by ensuring that the
water droplets are in the range of 2-3 microns in size
and are electrostatically charged so that they move
around and away from otherobjects.

How fog machine works?
 FogScreen technology is a high-tech version of the
technology in a cool air humidifier.
 Tap water is pumped into the fog tank where it is blasted
with ultrasound, turning it instantly into a thick fogmade
of tiny water particles 2-3 microns indiameter.
 The tank’s internal design plus 3 sets of fans work together
to create a very thin wall of mist about half of an inch thick.
One set of fans blows the fog downwards while the other
two sandwiches the fog between air curtains so that it
becomes a smooth projectionscreen.
Applications

 FogScreen has been used in live malls, product


launches, museums, to attract more and more peoples.
 It is used in case of projection a 3D image esp. in
studies.
 It can be used in seminars to make it more
interactive(we can walk through thescreen).
 It can be used in place of air curtain in clubs to make it
more attractive.
Applications:
 Entertain your guests withFogScreen
Whether you are planning a rock concert, a prize ceremony,
an anniversary, any commercial or private event, elevate the
atmosphere with the magical FogScreen. Guests can enter
through the screen to anevent!
 Create a luxurious interior withFogScreen
 Mixed reality and immersive projection technology
could use CAVE-like virtual rooms with fog walls, making
them effectively “virtual virtualrooms”.

Advantages
 A consumer could be enticed to walk through the
FogScreen into a special sales area, for example. The
FogScreen developers say the unique nature of
FogScreen will make it a memorable experience for
customers
 FogScreen is environmentally friendly, as it uses only
water as requirment and produces chemical free fog.
Limitations
 Fog Screen works best indoors with a dark background
that enhances the brightness of the image on the Fog
Screen behind the projector. So, it can’t be used in day
light.
 The surrounding should be clam, as breeze can affect
the fog stream
 Its is presently very much expensive, but the
FogScreen.inc is working on providing it in a
reasonable price.
Opportunities
 There are endless opportunities to use the products,
but for now these have been mostly innovative
marketing solutions and differentexhibitions.
 Stream of fog can appear and disappear within a
fraction of a second, making it a possibility for use in a
live theatre setting to aid with special effects
 Presently it is in demands in countries like Japan,
Malaysia, Germany, France, Greece, Russia, the UK
and the USA, in recent future it will replace the
existing method of projection.
Opportunities
 Developments are being carried out in making
FogScreen a Touch-FogScreen to make it more
interactive for theviewer.
Success of FogScreen
 FogScreen has been successfully used in this international
events:
1.Entertainment (live shows, live concerts, night clubs,
stage productions, private parties ie. Disney Enchanted
Tour, Eurovision, Harrah’s, Cirque de Soleil, MGM Grand,
20th Century Fox)
2.Brand promotions (P&G, Diesel, Victoria’s Secret. Bud
light/Maxim Tour, Xbox)
3. Trade shows and exhibition events (Nokia,Motorola,
Sony, Siemens)
4. Theme parks (Key US themeparks)
5.Museums and Science Centres (Palais de laDécouverte,
Taiwan National Museum)
