Projection System Including a 3-D Extendable Projection Surface

Abstract

A system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing software code, as well as a projection unit controlled by the computing platform, the projection unit including a three-dimensional (3-D) extendable projection surface having an extending end and a non-extending end. The hardware processor is configured to execute the software code to receive an activation signal, extend, in response to receiving the activation signal, the extending end of the 3-D extendable projection surface away from the non-extending end, illuminate the 3-D extendable projection surface, and produce a 3-D visual effect on the extended and illuminated 3-D extendable projection surface that is at least one of: (i) synchronized to a predetermined entertainment, (ii) interactively responsive to an action by a person at a venue including the 3-D extendable projection surface, or (iii) responsive to a location of the person within the venue.
