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 camera. 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, such as to move a single camera via multiple robotic mounts to one or more positions or along one or more paths.
Claims20
A method of moving an electronic video display comprising the steps of:
- providing a robotic mount having a video display support and at least one drive mechanism configured to move at least said video display support;
- providing the electronic video display mounted to said robotic display mount, the electronic video display being capable of displaying visual information in response to an input;
- controlling said at least one drive mechanism with an electronic controller in order to move said robotic display mount;
- and
- moving said electronic video display with said robotic display mount in three dimensional space about each of an x axis, a y axis and a z axis and along each of said x axis, y axis and z axis or combinations thereof.
A method of moving a first electronic video display and a second electronic video display comprising the steps of:
- providing a first robotic display comprising a first display mount having a first video display support, at least one drive mechanism configured to move at least said first video display support and having said first electronic video display mounted to said first display mount;
- providing a second robotic display comprising a second display mount having a second video display support, at least one drive mechanism configured to move at least said second video display support and having said second electronic video display mounted to said second display mount;
- locating said first and second robotic displays proximate to one another;
- providing a video feed to each of said first and second video displays to cause said first and second video displays to display visual information in response to an input;
- transmitting, from an electronic controller, first instructions to control said at least one drive mechanism of said first robotic display to move said first robotic display support to cause said first electronic video display to move to multiple designated positions in three dimensional space about each of an x axis, a y axis and a z axis and along each of said x axis, y axis and z axis or combinations thereof;
- transmitting, from said electronic controller, second instructions to control said at least one drive mechanism of said second robotic display to move said second robotic display support to cause said second electronic video display to move to multiple designated positions in three dimensional space about each of said x axis, y axis and z axis and along each of said x axis, y axis and z axis or combinations thereof.
A method of moving an electronic video display comprising the steps of:
- providing, to an electronic video display of a robotic video display, a video feed which causes said electronic video display to display video content;
- transmitting, from an electronic controller to at least one drive mechanism of said robotic video display, control instructions;
- and
- actuating, in accordance with said control instructions, said at least one drive mechanism to cause one or more portions of a video display mount of said robotic video display, said electronic video display mounted to said video display mount, to move said electronic video display in three dimensional space about each of an x axis, a y axis and a z axis and along each of said x axis, y axis and z axis or combinations thereof.
