APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ROBOTIC DISPLAY CHOREOGRAPHY

摘要

The present system and method provides for a new digital media paradigmenabling tight choreography of motion, content and time able to be presentedona variety of hardware platforms consisting of robotic control of amultiplicity ofdisplay 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 onemulti--axis manipulator arm mechanism. Motion control is achieved throughsoftwareprogrammed onto one or more controller systems and the corresponding toolsnecessary for creative visual designers to produce content meeting this newparadigm are also proposed. Each arm/display screen combination is kept awareof its positioning in physical space, relative to the positioning of each andeveryother arm/display screen at all times, in order to prevent collisions. Thepre--programmed software control takes the form of a choreographed play listofmovements, content, and time that match the desired positioning of the arrayofdisplay screens, in order to achieve the desired dynamic presentation ofcustom--produced digital content that will be presented across the array, in afullycoordinated fashion.
