14 DAY TRIAL // Images have been projected upon clouds ever since skylights were invented, but in the end that's just the same thing as projecting an image upon a thick bank of mist.
This very concept has been adapted by an organization from Poland. So, without further ado, behold the Leia Display System.
With a name most likely stemming from the famous Star Wars character, the display technology works like this: an empty picture frame gets mist pushed into it from above or below. On that mist the image is projected.
The effect is a lot like a hologram, only in two dimensions.
This alone would have been impressive enough, but the inventors wanted interactivity too, since they couldn't have volume. So they added sensors that allow you to “touch” the mist and manipulate the image like on a touchscreen.
I imagine it would be an awesome addition to a house of horrors, since it would allow you to emerge from a ghostly specter of yourself and scare the lights out of everybody.
The downside is that the screens need water to make the mist, around 0.10 gallons / 0.37 liters. There's a larger model that needs 1 gallon / 3.7 liters though.
Companies can buy or rent the mist displays in South Korea, Saudi Arabia/Dubai, and Benelux/France. Prices aren't known though.
