A portable system is provided for engaging users during play by presenting one or more images provided by a mobile computing device. The system includes a projector configured to visually output the one or more images delivered by the computing device. The system also includes a mount for supporting the projector, and at least one lens that is coupled to the projector. The system further includes a housing having at least a first and second illuminable surface that can receive images projected by the projector. The surfaces can be moved between a collapsed condition and an operative condition.

The present invention provides a structure of short-throw ambient light rejecting screen, which comprises a base and an optical structure device disposed on the base. The optical structure device includes a plurality of optical structure parts. Each of the plurality of optical structure parts includes a first side, a second side, and a base part. The first side and the base form a first angle for reflecting a light source. The second side and the base form a second angle for absorbing a light source. The base part is a length on the base confined by first side and the second side. The first angle is 20˜40 degrees. The second angle is 70˜90 degrees. The length on the base part is 250˜350 um. By adjusting the first angle, the second angle, and the length on the base part of each optical structure part, the height of the optical structure part can be maintained constant. In addition, the differences between the incident projection angles can be reduced as well. By improving the process yield, the appearance of the scrolled screen can form a neat cylinder.

Seamless display screens that are portable and can be installed in a fast manner, as well as a projection unit for use with several projectors as well as methods of making such display screens. The projection unit can be suitable for being used as a rear projection unit. Devices are provided for reducing depth of the projection unit, to compensate for blend zones and to make it easy to transport such as to be suitable for trade shows, e.g. mirrors or Fresnel lenses.

Provided herein are systems and methods to configure an immersive theater environment by moving one or more screens. A movie screen can be provided with one or more actuators coupled to the movie screen, wherein the one or more actuators are configured to move the movie screen in a plurality of directions including, for example, up, down, left, right, back, forward, pitch, roll, and yaw. This system can include a processor coupled to the actuator, wherein the processor is configured to control the movement of the one or more actuators, synchronize cinema content for movement of the movie screen, process cinema content for metadata cues indicating movement of the movie screen, and track positions of the movie screen.

A screen with a high flatness where no distortion arises in a central portion of the screen can be obtained. A first thickness of a portion other than a plurality of inclined portions that reflects to the front a obliquely-incident projection light is no more than 2 times a second thickness of the inclined portion. Moreover, a width is about 1550 mm, a height is about 900 mm, and when the reflective screen is suspended so a vertically-downward pulling load is about 3 kg, in a first region that includes the central portion of the reflective screen but does not include an end portion of the reflective screen, no shift arises in an image displayed on the reflective screen between when a reference line passing through a substantially central portion of the reflective screen at an incidence angle of about 15 degrees and when the reference line is projected at an incidence angle of about 60 degrees.

An integrated furniture system inconspicuously houses audiovisual equipment. The system includes a projector cabinet and a columnar supported screen assembly. The assembly comprises a screen for displaying a projected image with a frame around its perimeter and a pair of columnar screen supports located at opposite side edges of the screen. Each column comprises a hollow base with a slot formed in its interior surface and a foldable column with hollow top and bottom sections interconnected by a hinge. The bottom section has an attachment plate and a tongue portion extending from an exterior surface thereof. The tongue portion is insertable within the slot in the hollow base. A bracket attaches the screen to the neighboring columnar screen support. The bracket has a pair of side rails, one which is attached to a side surface of the column facing the screen and the other rail attached to the screen frame.
