It guides users by projecting dance steps or educational light patterns onto the ground. and a multi-user button that can be pressed with the foot located on the circle The projection is activated with the activation button (4). Multiple users When this happens, the projections (3) separate the lights into different areas and the two-person dance 10 The steps are shown. This feature provides both fun interaction and... It improves coordination among users. The multi-user projection activation key (4) is located on the circle and It is a button that activates the projections (3). Located on the system 15 that controls the operating mode of the projections (3) and is user-responsive. It consists of two modes: standard (single) mode and multi-person (two-person) mode. It offers different projection (3) outputs. When the user enters the circle, the system It automatically starts operating in "single user mode". In this mode, the ground step directions or patterns that a single person can dance to is reflected. When the user or someone else presses the foot-operated button, 20 The system switches to “multi-user mode”. In this mode, the projections (3) are in two different It is divided into areas, with a separate dance area and pattern set for each user. The figures being identified and reflected can be symmetrical or simultaneous (for example (3) system projections when the button is pressed again (dance choreography) It closes and returns to "single mode" when pressed a third time. 25 The solar panel (1) converts sunlight directly into electrical energy, turning the circle It is the element that meets energy needs. It both reduces costs and protects the environment. It offers an energy-friendly solution. This system, which provides energy independence, is sustainable. This constitutes an important advantage in terms of its transparent material structure (8), underneath The multicolored LED lights (9) installed are sensitive to music and user movements. It is a structure that works synchronously and is placed along the circumference of the circle. 9 In the invention, all electronic components such as LED lights (9), sensors and projectors (3), It is manufactured from materials that are water and dust resistant with an IP68 rating. In this way, the circle is made suitable for outdoor use and has a long lifespan. It is gaining structure. The invention is for parks, squares and outdoor event areas.
