The scene
A room that surrounds you with the image as soon as you walk in. Five projectors hang 4 m overhead and join two walls into one continuous picture. Visitors move around the middle of the room while a LiDAR at the foot of the wall scans the floor: wherever someone walks, the image in that zone responds. The equipment rack sits in a corner and all the cables climb the walls to the ceiling.
When it helps
- At the proposal stage, when the client needs to see which walls are projected on and where people stand.
- You are estimating equipment and cable: how many projectors, how long each signal run.
- Before load-in, when the carpenters and electricians need hanging points and the rack position.
What’s already laid out
- Three projectors blended across the 10 m back wall and two across the 8 m side wall.
- Each image is 3.6 m wide, overlapping its neighbour by 0.5 m for the edge blend.
- A LiDAR at the foot of the wall with a 3.8 m scan radius over 150°, and the trigger zones drawn on the floor.
- The rack in a corner; projector signal climbs the wall to the ceiling and fans out.
- All three cable runs have height, so their lengths include the vertical sections.
- Plus 9 figures for scale and circulation. If you don’t need them, delete them all in one go.
Making it yours
- Press “Start from this one”. The template opens in the editor as your own drawing; whatever you change, the original template stays as it was.
- Change the room size and wall height in the Space panel; projector height is set on each projector.
- For a different number of projectors, copy or delete one and line the overlaps up again.
- Cable lengths recalculate along whatever path you drag, ready to use for ordering.
- For anything missing, press Components at the bottom: search by name and click to place it. Select what you don’t need and press Delete.
- When the layout is right, press Download at the top right to save it as an image, then drop it into a deck or send it as it is.
What to settle first
- Decide the projected area first: which walls, and how many projectors each.
- Then hang the projectors. Height and throw decide the picture size, and both can be measured on the drawing.
- Put the sensor at the foot of a wall where people won’t block it, then draw the trigger zones.
- Cables last. They have height, so the climb up the wall counts towards the length.
What you end up with
- A layout drawing
- Download it as a PNG or JPG, at a resolution that holds up in a deck or a proposal.
- An object list
- The name and quantity of everything on the drawing. Change the drawing and the list changes with it.
- A length for every cable
- Power and signal runs have a length as soon as they are drawn. Order from those numbers.
- A link to send
- Once you sign in, the drawing can become a link that opens in any browser.
