Robotic Display Mount Synchronization for Dynamic Viewing Angles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing entertainment technologies, such as electronic displays and projectors, often lack the ability to dynamically change positions and orientations, limiting their effectiveness in capturing audience attention and enhancing the viewing experience, especially in environments like stadiums and theatrical productions.
Innovation Solution
The development of robotic mounts that enable entertainment elements like electronic displays, projectors, and cameras to move in three-dimensional space, allowing for automated and synchronized movements to optimize viewing angles and create dynamic visual experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If electronic displays are mounted to walls or placed in fixed positions, then they occupy less space and are easier to install, but they cannot dynamically change positions or orientations to capture audience attention
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming fixed electronic displays into movable ones through robotic mounts. The displays can now change their position and orientation dynamically in three-dimensional space, allowing them to adapt to different viewing angles and capture audience attention while maintaining a relatively simple overall system architecture through automated control.
2Adaptability or versatility
If props are moved manually in theatrical productions, then the setup is simpler and more reliable, but the range of movements is limited and effectiveness is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical manipulation of props with automated robotic systems. The robotic mounts can move props through a wide range of motions in three-dimensional space, including rotations and translations that would be difficult or impossible to achieve manually, thereby expanding the movement range and effectiveness of theatrical props.
3Area of moving object
If displays are made large for stadium replays, then they improve visibility, but they take up more space and are harder to reposition
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by equipping large electronic displays with robotic mounting systems that enable them to move and reposition themselves in three-dimensional space. This allows large displays used for stadium replays to maintain their visibility advantage while gaining the ability to adapt to different positions and angles, overcoming the traditional limitation of fixed large displays.

AI summary
A robotic mount is configured to move an entertainment element such as a video display, a video projector, a video projector screen or a camera. The robotic mount is moveable in multiple degrees of freedom, whereby the associated entertainment element is moveable in three-dimensional space. In one embodiment, a system of entertainment elements are made to move and operate in synchronicity with each other, such as to move a single camera via multiple robotic mounts to one or more positions or along one or more paths.
