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.
Claims19
A system, comprising:
- a fog distributing unit having a fog manifold in communication with a fog laminar assembly,
- the fog manifold configured to receive fog from the intake component and separate the fog into a plurality of fog portions, and
- the fog laminar assembly comprising:
- a plurality of laminar portions positioned to receive the plurality of fog portions and generate a plurality of laminar flows of fog from the plurality of fog portions, and
- a fog screen formed by the plurality of laminar flows, the fog screen positioned adjacent the fog laminar assembly to receive light from a light source to display an image.
A system, comprising:
- a fog generating unit configured to generate fog;
- a fog distributing unit in communication with the fog generating unit, the fog distributing unit comprising:
- a fog manifold configured to receive the fog and separate the fog into a plurality of fog portions, and
- 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, the plurality of laminar portions including a first laminar portion 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
- at least one light source configured to illuminate the plurality of laminar flows of fog to create at least one image of an item on the plurality of laminar flows of fog.
A system, comprising:
- a fog generating unit configured to generate fog;
- and
- a fog distributing unit in communication with the fog generating unit, the 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, and
- 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, the plurality of laminar flows of fog including a first laminar flow of fog;
- wherein the plurality of laminar portions include a first laminar portion configured to receive a first fog portion of the plurality of fog portions and generate the first laminar flow of fog;
- and
- wherein the first laminar flow of fog is configured to receive light from a light source to create an image of an item on the first laminar flow of fog.
