Introduction
Fog screen 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 mid-air.
It is inspired by science fiction movies such as star wars. Two
Finnish virtual researchers create the fog screen to create some
of the effects from these movies to real life
Imagine the traditional pull down screen that is found in many
classrooms today. Instead of a screen being pulled down from the
ceiling. Fog is pushed down and held in place by several small
fans, allowing for a consistent surface for display
The fog screen is an innovative display technology that allows for
projections on a thin layer of dry fog.
Brief history
It was invented by two Finnish virtual reality researchers.
Fog screen , which was initially known as WAVE(walk through
virtual environment),was announced in December 2001.
The first public demonstration of fog screen was in Finland in
October 2002.
Till then it is used in different areas and improvements are
being done to increase its effectiveness.
Existing system
A projection screen consisting a surface and support structure.
Rigid wall mounted screens
Pull down screens
Electric screens
Switchable projection screens
What is fog screen?
It is one type of advanced projecting device which consumes water and
electricity to form fogs on which image are projected.
projector
The fog we are using is dry, so it doesn’t make you wet even if you
stay under the fog screen device for a long time.
The fog is made of ordinary water with no chemicals.
With two projectors you can project different images on both sides of
the screen.
Diagram of fog screen formation
How fog machine works:
Fog screen 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.
Principle of fog machine
Non –turbulent airflow to protect a dry fog inside it from turbulence. The
outer airflow may get slightly turbulent, but the inner fog layer remains thin
and crisp.in a sense, the outer air flows are like air curtains that sandwich
the fog flow and maintain its integrity.
Cont….
Further ,ordinary tap water (droplets of 2-3 microns) becomes trapped
inside this inner layer, that “even though the fog is made of water, it
appears dry to touch, just like air". Therefore technology is simple in
nature, making use of generating device; there is no frame around the
screen.
Application:
Fog screen has been used in live walls , product
launches ,museums, to attract more and more peoples.
It is used in case of projection a 3D image 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 guest with fog screen
Create a luxurious interior with fog screen.
cont….
Mixed reality and immersive projection technology could use
CAVE-like virtual rooms with fog walls , making them effectively
“virtual rooms”
Example of fog screen
Advantage :
A consumer could be enticed to walk through the fog screen
into a special sales area, for example. The fog screen
developers say the unique nature of fog screen will make it a
memorable experience for customer.
Fog screen is environmentally friendly, as it uses only water as
requirement and produces chemical free fog.
limitation
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 not be used in day light.
The surrounding should be calm, as breeze can effect the fog
stream.
It’s a presently very much expensive, but the fogscreen.inc is
working on providing it in a reasonable price.
Oppurtinities
There are endless opportunities to use the products, but for
now these have been mostly innovative marketing solutions
and different exhibitions. Effects
Presently it is in demands in country like japan , Russia , uk ,usa ,
in recent future it will replace the existing method of projection
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
Development are being carried out in making fog screen a
touch-fog screen to make it more interactive for the viewer
Success of fog screen:
Fog Screen has been successfully used in this international
events:
1. Entertainment (live shows, live concerts, night clubs, stage
productions, private parties , Disney Enchanted Tour)
2. Brand promotions
3. Trade shows and exhibition events
4. Theme parks
5. Museums and Science Centres
conclusion
Technology of the future literally revolutionizes, the limits of
projection screens and blurs the boundaries among art, science,
and fun
Any queries..????
