Abstract
An image animation system having a plurality of individual image projectors focused onto a single focal area on a projection surface or medium. Angled optics, or a prism, may be used to direct the projections onto the single focal area. Individual still images are projected in a sequence to create a projected motion animation.
Claims4
A projection system, comprising:
- a plurality of image frames;
- a plurality of projection light sources for projecting individual ones of the plurality of image frames onto a medium, the plurality of projection light sources being in alignment with the plurality of image frames;
- optics for directing the projected image frames onto a focal area of the medium;
- and
- a switching device for enabling the plurality of projection light sources in a sequence,
- wherein the projected image frames are displayed at the focal area on the medium in accordance with the sequence;
- and
- an integrated prism containing the optics.
