This device allows users to control fog output wirelessly. Typically handheld, it triggers the fog machine to produce atmospheric effects on demand, eliminating the need for manual activation at the machine itself. For instance, a disc jockey might use one to enhance a light show during a musical performance.
Wireless control offers significant practical advantages in entertainment settings. Positioning a fog machine in an optimal location for effect dispersal might place it out of easy reach. A wireless controller provides convenient operation, enabling precise timing and duration of fog effects from a distance. This functionality has become essential in theater, live music venues, and other event productions seeking dynamic atmospheric control. Historically, such control required wired connections or reliance on stagehands, limiting flexibility and introducing potential hazards.
