This paper contributes to the discussion on weather-based phenomena as an affordance for creating user interface elements. The transient characteristics of nature concretely represent ephemerality and provide novel metaphors for interaction design. We have studied arctic weather conditions as a new possibility in the context of ephemeral user interfaces and evanescent information presentation. In this article we present our work in progress dealing with an evanescent screen concept referred to as BreathScreen. BreathScreen is an ephemeral surface for projections enabled by breath clouds produced by human beings in arctic weather conditions. Our work entails preliminary observations from experiments with BreathScreen and introduces possibilities for the presentation of personal information. It also and brings out pragmatic challenges encountered in the implementation of BreathScreen.
