Have you ever witnessed a fish swimming amid airborne water droplets? I found out today that Panasonic has been producing results similar to that by deftly reusing an outdoor air conditioning system to produce mist.
This video is available:
Panasonic sells it mainly as a means of battling the heat and refers to it as “Silky Fine Mist.” According to the business, their nozzles spray a mist so thin (six to ten microns) that it doesn’t feel moist to the touch by combining compressed air and pressured water. Since its 2019 launch, Panasonic claims that the technology has been embraced by “train stations and public facilities nationwide” in Japan.
However, similar to Disney and several other projection mapping experts throughout the years, Panasonic soon recognized it could also utilize the fog for art works. Since 2018, the company has been conducting tests on this concept. And more lately, it’s been sending a single concealed mist dispenser and projector to a number of technology expos to illustrate how great it might appear as a piece of digital signage.
The one sprayer system Panasonic appears to offer in North America is three feet wide by three feet tall, weighs about 420 pounds, and requires 2.4 kilowatts of electricity on its own. As such, it doesn’t exactly seem portable.
It’s not as good as the several other translucent displays we’ve seen over the years, and anyone who has seen Disneyland’s “World of Color,” which projects on mist in a similar manner, won’t find it very interesting. But you can’t go up and touch any of those. It’s actually cooler this one.
