Could touch display projected on mist replace physical screens?


According to Russian designer Max Kamanin, creator of Displair, high-tech displays made from mist and air are "the next step in visual technology".

His solution? Projecting 3D images onto sheets of mist, giving the illusion of a hologram:
An airstream is created from tiny water drops, similar to the ones in the clouds.

  • Displays made from mist and air are "the next step in visual technology"

  • With Displair, users need not wear special glasses

  • Screen responds 'intuitively' to hand movements

  • According to Displair the image is created inside a layer of "dry fog which is composed of ultra-fine water droplets."

    3-dimensional projections are created using infrared sensors.

    The screen responds "intuitively" to hand movements -- 1500 of them -- many of which are similar to those used on our mobile devices, such as pinch-and-zoom.

    The screen's inventors think that Displair screens could be used in medicine, and offer a more hygienic alternative to touchscreens.

    In the future the team hope to explore scent, to offer users a multi-sensory experience.
