Fog machine feeding a distribution manifold with a slit in the top to create a curtain to project the screen onto? Sick.

I think you need to run it though long tubes or something to get it straight and laminar too before the exit though. I think basically homeless on YouTube found routing it though corrugated plastic works really well for making it laminar.
Ah, yes, where blacks are the color of... garage door.
If you could have a black backdrop and some way of preventing the projector from shining right in your eyes, it might be fun. That projector lens is going to be blindingly bright, and right in your face. It needs to come up from the bottom, behind the box, and you need to adjust the video itself so it doesn't get stretched crazy tall when doing so. The mist/fog should come from a slit on the very rear edge of the box.
Some projectors have a good enough keystone adjustment to not need to modify the video even when projected at such a sharp angle.
I wonder if this could be scaled up. I would love to do something similar at the edge of my pool, great effect.
Probably wouldn't work outside, any breeze or air current would disrupt the smoke flow. Making it taller probably wouldn't work for the same reason, more possibility of turbulence as you get further up.
You've invented a wind powered stress hormone factory
I must be very tired because before I opened the image I misread the question as something like, "what if you could be part of the hologram on the holodeck of a Star Trek vessel?
