Method for projecting image content

Abstract

A kit for projecting an image onto an architecture is provided. The kit includes projectors each including a housing containing an image sensor sub-system and an image projector sub-system; a lens assembly in cooperation with the image sensor sub-system or the image projector sub-system; a port for receiving and/or sending data signals; and a processor operably connected to the image sensor sub-system, the image projector sub-system, and the at least one port of the projector apparatus. The plurality of projectors include a line of sight to each of a plurality of surfaces of the architecture in which the image is to be projected. A mechanism is configured to mount one or more of the plurality of projectors in a fixed orientation prior to a rendering of the image to be projected. A control unit includes a housing, a port for receiving and/or sending data signals, and a processor.
