This sounds awesome. A walk through screen made out of fog? Thats crazy. I can see why it would be a hard product to sell and I think the new selling strategy will help a great deal.
That seems really cool and unique. It will be more interesting in a few years when these are more common and have gone down in price. I fell like these could be amazing for art installations or museum pieces I don't know about theatre though. It also seems like these would be very hard to set up and install properly.
I wonder how well this actually works. It seems like the fog would create a lot of movement, so the picture would be kind wavy and shaky. If that's the effect you're going for though, then great! It sounds cool in concept, I just wonder if it actually lives up to its hype.
I had never even heard of a walk through projection screen before. This sounds really amazing, it would give theater design a whole new level of possibilities. Like Sam mentioned, I would wonder if the screen would be constantly moving. That would definitely factor into the effect that you were trying to produce.
This sounds pretty cool, but I couldn't really find any decent photos or demonstrations of how it works. I understand they might not want to divulge all their secrets, but still it would be great to see from different angles and see the fog being created.
