Abstract
A robotic mount is configured to move an entertainment element such as a video display, a video projector, a video projector screen or a staircase. The robotic mount is moveable in multiple degrees of freedom, whereby the associated entertainment element is moveable in three-dimensional space. In one embodiment, a system of entertainment elements are made to move and operate in synchronicity with each other.
Claims20
A robotically controlled video display system comprising:
- a first robotic projector comprising:
- a first robotic display mount comprising a first base and a first moveable support, said first moveable support having one more portions moveable about a first x axis, a first y axis and a first z axis which are perpendicular to one another;
- at least one first motor configured to move said first moveable support;
- and
- at least one first electronic video projector capable of projecting visual information in response to a video signal input, said at least one first electronic video projector mounted to said first moveable support for movement by said first robotic display mount;
- and
- a second robotic screen comprising:
- a second robotic display mount comprising a second base and a second moveable support, said second moveable support having one more portions moveable about a second x axis, a second y axis and a second z axis which are perpendicular to one another;
- at least one second motor configured to move said second moveable support;
- and
- a projector screen comprising a support structure and a light-reflective material attached to said support structure, said projector screen mounted to said second moveable support for movement by said second robotic display mount;
- and
- an electronic controller configured to control said at least one first motor to move said at least one first video projector in three-dimensional space relative to said first x axis, said first y axis and said first z axis, and to move said at least one second motor to move said projector screen in three-dimensional space relative to said second x axis, said second y axis and said second z axis, whereby said at least one first video projector and said projector screen are moved synchronously to cause one or more images to be projected by said at least one first video projector onto said projector screen.

A robotically controlled video display system comprising:
- a first robotic projector comprising:
- a first robotic display mount comprising a first base and a first moveable support, said first moveable support having one more portions moveable relative to a first axis, a second axis and a third axis which are perpendicular to one another;
- at least one first motor configured to move said first moveable support;
- and
- at least one first electronic video projector capable of projecting visual information in response to a video signal input, said at least one first electronic video projector mounted to said first moveable support for movement by said first robotic display mount;
- and
- at least a second robotic screen comprising:
- a second robotic display mount comprising a second base and a second moveable support, said second moveable support having one more portions moveable relative to said first axis, said second axis and said third axis;
- at least one second motor configured to move said second moveable support;
- and
- a projector screen comprising a support structure and a light-reflective material attached to said support structure, said projector screen mounted to said second moveable support for movement by said second robotic display mount;
- and
- an electronic controller configured to control said at least one first motor to move said at least one first video projector in three-dimensional space relative to said first, second and third axes, and to move said at least one second motor to move said projector screen in three-dimensional space relative to said first, second and third axes, whereby said at least one first video projector and said projector screen are moved synchronously to cause one or more images to be projected by said at least one first video projector onto said projector screen.
