Abstract
The immaterial FogScreen is an emerging display technology that enables high-quality projected images in mid-air. It is becoming widely used in many settings and can be extended to a pseudo-3D display. We present also some other unique volumetric or pseudo-volumetric display technologies for creating mid-air images.
