 INTRODUCTION
 Inspired by science fiction movies such as Star Wars, two Finnish virtual
reality researchers created the Fogscreen 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
 It was invented by two Finnish virtual reality researchers
 Fogscreen, which was initially known as WAVE (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
increase its 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.

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
between two air-curtains.
• The fog is created by suspended fog generating device.
• 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 electrostatic ally charged so that they
move around and away from other objects.

 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 fog made of tiny water particles 2-3 microns
in diameter.
 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 projection screen.
 Application
 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 the screen).
 It can be used in place of air curtain in clubs to make it more attractive.
 Entertain your guests with Fogscreen
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 an event!
 Create a luxurious interior with Fogscreen
 Mixed reality and immersive projection technology could use CAVE-like
virtual rooms with fog walls, making them effectively “virtual rooms”.

 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

requirement 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 different exhibitions.
 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.
 Developments are being carried out in making FogScreen a Touch-
FogScreen to make it more interactive for the viewer.
 Success of FogScreen

 Fogscreen has been successfully used in this international events:

1.Entertainment (live shows, live concerts, night clubs, stage productions,

private parties i.e.. 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 theme parks)

5.Museums and Science Centers
