Finland / France - FogScreen Inc, the Finnish company whose walk-through projection screen we've reported on recently, has been awarded the Laval Virtual Award in Interfaces category at the sixth International Conference on Virtual Reality in Laval, France. An international jury made up of virtual reality specialists presented awards for the year's best virtual reality creations worldwide.

FogScreen Inc, which was founded less than a year ago, has received a remarkable variety of prizes and honours, including the InnoSuomi 2003 prize from the President of Finland for the best innovation of the year. During the International Conference in Laval, FogScreen presented its new interactive fog display, which makes writing and drawing in the air possible. The innovation had its debut in San Francisco at Wired Magazine's NextFest.

FogScreen's recent demonstration at the Washington Design Center generated much interest and comment. In June, FogScreen will have presentations at technology, medical, and marketing exhibitions, including events in Tokyo, London and New Orleans.
