Presentation system with movable display devices

摘要

The present system and method provides for a new digital media paradigm enabling tight choreography of motion, content and, time able to be presented on a variety of hardware platforms consisting of robotic control of a multiplicity of display screens in the form of a movable array of 2 or more LCDs, LEDs, OLEDs, etc., with the movement and placement of each display achieved by one multi-axis manipulator arm mechanism. Motion control is achieved through software programmed onto one or more controller systems, and the corresponding tools necessary for creative visual designers to produce content meeting this new paradigm are also proposed. Each arm/display screen combination is kept aware of its positioning in physical space, relative to the positioning of each and every other arm/display screen at all times, in order to prevent collisions. The preprogrammed software control takes the form of a choreographed playlist of movements, content, and time that match the desired positioning of the array of display screens, in order to achieve the desired dynamic presentation of custom-produced digital content that will be presented across the array, in a fully coordinated fashion.

主权项

1. A visual display system comprising:
a plurality of electronic display devices, a separate support arrangement for each electronic display device connected to a motor drive arrangement that accommodates pivotal movement of each electronic display to change the orientation thereof and to accommodate substantial movement of the respective display device along first and second axes from a neutral position to any of a series of non-overlapped positions including stacked positions relative to thesecond axis; wherein said plurality of display devices via said motor drive arrangement are each controlled to move within a display area and change the order of said display devices relative to at least one of said first and second axes.
