WAVE, a Walk-thru Virtual Environment is a novel, low-cost, and simple method for forming a superior quality physically penetrable fog display. It is a break-through technology, literally! This work has international patents pending. An early prototype was constructed with honeycomb paper as a low-cost laminar airflow generator. When the screen is formed, images can be either rear- or front-projected onto it. Despite of being a very early prototype, the experimental fog screen already proves the operating principle with excellent results."

Seaquest DSV? I seem to remember the captain had a holographic AI projected onto a fog screen in his office. And that series was quite a few years ago now... I wonder if we'll be seeing a /. stroy on a "dolphin translator" next :)
