Abstract

A system may comprise a fog generating unit configured to generate fog; a fog distributing unit comprising: an intake component configured to receive the fog generated by the fog generating unit, a fog manifold configured to receive the fog from the intake component and separate the fog into a plurality of fog portions, a fog laminar assembly comprising a plurality of laminar portions configured to receive the plurality of fog portions and generate a plurality of laminar flows of fog using the plurality of fog portions; and a plurality of light sources configured to illuminate the plurality of laminar flows of fog to create a plurality of images, of an item, on the plurality of laminar flows of fog.

Background

BACKGROUND

A fog screen is a system that use water vapors to create a semi-transparent wall of suspended water particles. The water particles are trapped in a thin sheet of air. The water particles may be illuminated with an image projector to produce a display of images. The display of images may appear to be floating in the air. SUMMARY

A system may comprise a fog generating unit configured to generate fog; a fog distributing unit comprising: an intake component configured to receive the fog generated by the fog generating unit, a fog manifold configured to receive the fog from the intake component and separate the fog into a plurality of fog portions, a fog laminar assembly comprising a plurality of laminar portions configured to receive the plurality of fog portions and generate a plurality of laminar flows of fog using the plurality of fog portions; and a plurality of light sources configured to illuminate the plurality of laminar flows of fog to create a plurality of images, of an item, on the plurality of laminar flows of fog.

A system, comprising: a fog generating unit configured to generate fog; a fog distributing unit comprising: a fog manifold configured to receive the fog and separate the fog into a plurality of fog portions, a fog laminar assembly comprising a plurality of laminar portions configured to receive the plurality of fog portions and generate a plurality of laminar flows of fog using the plurality of fog portions, wherein a first l

Claims

1. A system, comprising: a fog generating unit configured to generate fog; a fog distributing unit comprising: an intake component configured to receive the fog generated by the fog generating unit, a fog manifold configured to receive the fog from the intake component and separate the fog into a plurality of fog portions, a fog laminar assembly comprising a plurality of laminar portions configured to receive the plurality of fog portions and generate a plurality of laminar flows of fog using the plurality of fog portions; and a plurality of light sources configured to illuminate the plurality of laminar flows of fog to create a plurality of images, of an item, on the plurality of laminar flows of fog. || 8. A system, comprising: a fog generating unit configured to generate fog; a fog distributing unit comprising: a fog manifold configured to receive the fog and separate the fog into a plurality of fog portions, a fog laminar assembly comprising a plurality of laminar portions configured to receive the plurality of fog portions and generate a plurality of laminar flows of fog using the plurality of fog portions, wherein a first laminar portion, of the plurality of laminar portions, is configured to receive a first fog portion, of the plurality of fog portions, and generate a first laminar flow of fog of the plurality of laminar flows of fog; and a plurality of light sources configured to illuminate the plurality of laminar flows of fog to create images of an item on the plurality of laminar flows of fog. || 16. A system, comprising: a fog generating unit configured to generate fog; and a fog distributing unit comprising: an intake component configured to receive the fog generated by the fog generating unit, a fog manifold configured to receive the fog from the intake component and separate the fog into a plurality of fog portions, a fog laminar assembly comprising a plurality of laminar portions configured to receive the plurality of fog portions and generate a plurality of laminar flows of fog using the plurality of fog portions, wherein a laminar portion, of the plurality of laminar portions, is configured to receive a fog portion of the plurality of fog portions and generate a laminar flow of fog of the plurality of laminar flows of fog, and wherein the laminar flow of fog is configured to receive light from a respective light source, of a plurality of light sources, to create an image of an item on the laminar flow of fog.
