unglu [ŭn-glōō'] to separate or detach as if overcoming an adhesive agent: to unglu a sticker from a wall.

This design blog is a collection of architecture, art, media and objects that detach, float, hover, suspend, unglue and locate in the air. They come in many forms: augmented reality, light, particulate, projection, physical pixels, solid, and virtual. They involve the extremes of space and physical interaction, and present themselves with a sense of wonder and curiosity.

FogScreen

Fogscreen promises a “walk-through” branding experience and new medium for advertisers to captivate and fascinate audiences. It’s a screen that blasts microscopic fog droplets made from tap water, ultrasonic waves, and patented technology developed by virtual reality researchers. This curtain of “dry” fog serves as a translucent projection screen for displaying messages, graphics, images, and video that literally float in the air. One of the most recent developments of Fogscreen is an interactive add-on tool kit. “ One of the main practical applications that the interactivity function provides is treating patients with cognitive disorders or rehabilitation, says Jorden Woods, president of Fogscreen. “The FogScreen adds an extra incentive of excitement and wonder for patients, to the point where they forget they are actually rehabbing.” Fogscreen is currently developing three-dimensional imaging capabilities for the screen to increase the immersive experience.
