Eh, they never had much going for them other than the occasional cover song that sold singles.

Well i found 2 video clips of the same product altho the one i saw they had prrfected the stream of air it was trying to force the air out of the small vent to be as flat as possible thats was the problem for them and would still be a problem if they had drafts in the room so id think it have to be forced out of the unit quite fast

Also seems there using IR beams to work out where ur finger is in the air so u can use it as a touch screen.

How it works is condensed air which is just air with water condensation basically

Here is another video of it


Im sure i seen them improve the wall if air so it streams out evenly

But for a DIY-er to do this u get them pond foggers (which are just ultrasonic devices underwater that vibrate the molocules so much it turns into a white mist) get afew of them in a small tub of water and then use some PC fans to suck the mist and blow it out of a thin vent to get it to flow like a stream and u have ur own kind of display :) just use a standard projector (i have done this before with my home projector and its quite cool) but these ones are alot more complex with making it invisible

If you want to test it and have a projector get some dry ice and poor alil but of water ontop (i think thats how u make the cold fog go more but i dont have dry ice down here so i've never done it) and hold it infront of the projectors image and your now gonna have it in mid air :)

IMHO, this is one of the more silly attempts.  Anything that relies on there NOT being air currents is doomed for any serious use.  Neat advertising gimmick, but that's about all.  I mean, c'mon, touting it as "touch" technology when your finger screws up everything everything on the "screen" above it?   

Or how about this secenario:  "Let's play a game!  Ok, but we have to hurry up.  My monitor is almost out of water!"    :laugh2:

There is a difference between putting ur finger just before the fog and throwing ur whole hand in lol

And the technology doesn't use a water tank or anything like that (there already is water in the air) it just needs electricty i said the easy DIY way was too use water and some ultrasonic devices

there are ones that need supply of water but if it's in ur house your gonna have it hooked up to a water mains anyway.

Also the fog ones are have the basic components of a laminar, non-turbulent airflow which has the thin fog injected inside the laminar flow. Created this way, the fog is an internal part of the laminar airflow, and remains thin, crisp and protected from turbulence.

Unless a big gust of wind comes in blowing it wont budge alot of people walking past it at say a show or convention
wont make it go wavy or just wreck the screen.

This is the newer technology i was talking about where they perfected the turbulance factor.

Sure it's not the as good when compared to a LCD screen but without having something solid as the screen it gives a 3d look and would be key in other basic 3D technology.

Anyway the only problem this has is trying to get the uniformed pattern when somethings projected and really i think it's a great idea for shows and cool for at home use too
