Fogscreen: Projecting images into air
Finnish company FogScreen begun volume production on its unique walk-through projection screen. The FogScreen Inia screen projects high-quality images onto a thin laminar air flow of water vapour.

Uses:
Special effects displays
Airborne advertising media
walk-through/drive-through posters
high impact advertising medium - mass, airports, mass audience events









Aerial 3D by Burton

Using lasers to excite nitrogen and oxygen in the air, the aerial 3D system produces natural 3-D images in spacce without using a screen.
Aerial 3D is a laser system that uses beams of light projected from below to generate plasma excitation in atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in the air. It currently can create 50,000 points of light per second, giving it a rate of 10-15 fps. Burton is working to improve that to 24-30 fps. The floating, 3D image can be viewed in 360 degrees.

Laser produced plasma technology to make a flashpoint in the air.

Keio University and Burton Inc. noticed a phenomenon that, when laser beams are strongly focused, air plasma emission can be induced only near the focal point.
