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 movable 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.
Claims8
A robotically controlled entertainment system comprising:
- a robotically controlled projector comprising
- a projector, and
- a first moveable support attached to said projector, said first moveable support being communicatively coupled to at least one first electronic motor configured to move said first moveable support in at least one direction;
- a robotically controlled projector screen comprising
- a projector screen, and
- a second moveable support attached to said projector screen, said second moveable support being communicatively coupled to at least one second electronic motor configured to move said second moveable support in at least one direction;
- at least one memory storage device for storing a plurality of computer coded instructions;
- at least one processor for processing said plurality of computer coded instructions;
- and
- at least one electronic controller configured to receive said computer coded instructions after processing, send a first signal to said at least one first electronic motor to move said first moveable support, and send a second signal to said at least one second electronic motor to move said second moveable support;
- said computer coded instructions comprising a time code, the time code defining a sequential progression from a start code sequence defining an initiation of processing of said computer coded instructions to an end code sequence defining a termination of processing of said computer coded instructions for each of a distinct unit of time between said initiation and said termination of processing of said computer coded instructions;
- wherein subsequent to said initiation of processing of said computer coded instructions,
- the at least one electronic controller sends said first signal to said at least one first electronic motor according to a first specific instruction from said computer coded instructions, the first specific instruction corresponding to a first time code of said time code, and the first specific instruction causing said at least one first electronic motor to deliver motion in accordance with said first specific instruction at a first time corresponding to said first time code, and
- the at least one electronic controller sends said second signal to said at least one second electronic motor according to a second specific instruction from said computer coded instructions, the second specific instruction corresponding to said first code of said time code, and the seconds specific instruction causing said at least one second electronic motor to deliver motion in accordance with said second specific instruction at said first time corresponding to said first time code, to enable a dynamic video projection display between the at least one robotically controlled projector and the at least one robotically controlled projector screen.
