http://www.fogscreen.com/
This week we came across a great idea known as a fog screen. Using this technology enables images to be displayed in air through the use of fog without getting anything wet. We believe that anyone who enjoys new and interesting products will enjoy reading about this project, view its pictures, and view the available sample movies.
