Mistflow: a fog display for visualization of adaptive shape-changing flow

A fog display has distinctive properties such as being translucent and virtually immaterial; and it enables natural interaction between aerially projected images and users. Recently, many studies on fog displays and its application have been conducted owing to its exciting prospects [Lee et al. 2009] [Yagi et al. 2011]. Although many researchers realized interesting interactions between a touching motion and aerial images [Rakkolainen et al. 2005] [Lam et al. 2015], there has not yet been an experiment that explicitly takes advantage of the relationship between the physical flow of the screen and the projected image associated with it. One of the reasons is that it is difficult to detect the deformation of screen shape (i.e. fog flow) caused by user's action in real-time.
