Finland - The Finnish visual technology company FogScreen was awarded the highly prestigious Plasa Award for Innovation on 12 September, at the PLASA 2005 show in London - Europe's foremost exhibition for the entertainment and presentation industries. The PLASA Awards focus on excellence in design and development work across these industries.

The awards, which are judged by a panel of professionals, attracted 66 nominations leading to eight technical awards and an additional award for environmental impact. The judges believe the FogScreen to be a genuine first.

The FogScreen is a penetrable projection surface consisting of dry fog made from pure tap water. The fog is cool and dry to the touch and can be walked through quite comfortably. Images projected onto the FogScreen take only seconds to reform.

"We are very grateful for this award as it represents another important milepost in our company's short history. We are most appreciative of the fact that the judges share our opinion about FogScreen being a genuine first." says Mika Herpiö, the CEO of FogScreen Inc.
