Abstract:
An inflatable picture frame shaped to have the appearance of a conventional picture frame. In an inflated position, the inflatable picture frame will have the contours of a conventional picture frame and a bottom member angled to a front position for front support, and legs that fasten in a rear position to form a linked rear support. A flat and rigid transparent central portion contains a sleeve in which to place a picture or card. A system for attaching an inflatable picture frame to a wall comprising an adhesive folding box attached to a recess in a back portion of the inflatable picture frame which may then be attached to a support structure.
Abstract:
A portable movie screen includes a screen portion and a frame portion surrounding at least part of the periphery of the screen portion. The screen portion has a screen gain greater than about 0.8 and an elasticity greater than an elasticity of the frame portion. The movie screen includes at least one side connected to the front portion and a receiving space defined at least in part by the front portion and the side portion. The receiving space is configured to selectively receive a support body including at least one sealed chamber and movable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. The frame portion is configured such that when the support body is in the expanded configuration and positioned in the receiving space, the frame portion tensions the screen portion and substantially maintains the screen portion in a desired shape.
Abstract:
An inflatable display system with a projection screen on two opposing sides is provided that allows a single inflatable display support to allow viewers to watch the screens on both sides, thereby doubling the number of viewers per inflatable display support without increasing the size of the display support. An opaque material may be placed between the projection screens or integrated into the back of the screens to avoid interference from light from images projected from the opposite side. In this way, a screen operator or user can accommodate viewers on both sides of the display system, essentially doubling viewer capacity without having to set up two inflatable supports or increase the size of the screen/support system.
Abstract:
A portable inflatable golf studio including an arcuate shaped roof panel, first and second side panels, a floor panel, a front panel, a back panel, a projector screen, a projector, and a tracking system. The first and second side panels are positioned parallel from one another and are attached to the arcuate shaped roof panel, wherein one of the first and second side panels defines a cavity configured to receive a television monitor. The floor panel configured to connect the first and second side panels to one another. The front panel removable attached to the arcuate shaped roof panel and the first and second side panels. The back panel positioned parallel to the front panel and attached to the arcuate shaped roof panel and the first and second side panels. Each panel includes one or more of inflatable sections.
Abstract:
A method of assembling a three-dimensional display apparatus involves providing a support unit, made up of a projector mounting and a screen mounting surface having a first aperture therethrough; and a screen unit, made up of a diaphragm and an inflatable screen affixed thereto-the diaphragm defining a second aperture in communication with the inflatable screen. The screen mounting surface and the diaphragm are brought into contact so as to align the first and second apertures; and to secure the support unit to the screen unit to thereby create a seal between the support surface and the diaphragm around the first and second apertures. The seal being sufficiently gas tight to enable inflation of the screen.
Abstract:
An assembly for video display, includes a captive-air inflatable structure in a curved shape or a portion of a truncated sphere; a display medium; and a holding system between the inflatable structure and the display medium; the assembly wherein the holding system comprises hooks distributed over the surface of the concave part of the inflatable structure and complementary hooks distributed over the convex surface of the display medium; and in that all or some of the hooks are connected to complementary hooks positioned facing them, so that, when the inflatable structure is inflated, the hooks of the inflatable structure connected to complementary hooks of the display medium are stretched and make it possible to shape the display medium.
Abstract:
An inflatable display is disclosed. The inflatable display contains an inflatable outer shell, wherein at least a portion of the inflatable outer shell is a display surface, at least one fan providing a continuous air flow to inflate the inflatable outer shell, a projection system within the inflatable outer shell and configured to display one or more images and/or video on the display surface.
Abstract:
In one example arrangement, an immersive projection system includes an enclosure, and a number of projectors suspended outside and near the upper portion of the enclosure. The projectors project portions of a scene through openings in the enclosure and onto an inside surface of the enclosure. In some embodiments, light emanating from the projectors reflects from one or more mirrors before being cast onto the enclosure wall. The projectors and one or more mirrors may be mounted to a mounting frame that maintains the projectors and one or more mirrors in fixed spatial relationship, and the mounting frame may be mounted on a movable gantry for lifting the mounting frame to the upper portion of the enclosure. The enclosure may be a collapsible dome.
Abstract:
An apparatus for displaying still and moving images on a three-dimensional projection screen includes a gas-inflatable envelope made of flexible material with an inner surface serving as three-dimensional projection screen, a gas inlet opening, a fan connected to the gas inlet opening and which generates a gas flow that inflates the envelope, an interior surrounded by the envelope, a projector emitting a projector beam and a reflection mirror set up in the zenith of the envelope, said reflection mirror having a curved mirror surface for deflecting the projector beam onto the inner surface of the envelope. The image generated by the projector beam is visible on the outer surface of the envelope. The projector is configured within the interior of the envelope and aligned in such a way that the projector beam is reflected onto the inner surface serving as a three-dimensional projection screen via the reflection mirror.
