| 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.

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.
