Formally called wave (Walk-Thru Virtual Environment), the Walk-Thru Fog Screen is a thin veil of fog and a non-turbulent airflow that protects it from disruption. The result is a relatively crisp screen surface ready for your projection needs.

wow that is cool… I’m forwarding this link to my installation artist friends…

I saw this in operation at SIGGRAPH a couple of weeks ago — and it’s really wild. The only downside at the moment is that the overhead screen (between the fog jets and the fog itself) had to be dried fairly frequently, as condensation formed on it…
The website indicates that the “advanced prototype works fine” – so hopefully they fixed the problem!
