To our brilliant community of engineers and creative minds,
WE NEED HELP designing a method of raising and lowering our laser projectors. For safety reasons we have to project 3 meters above the audience and our current mounting below the rim of the dome impacts where the lasers terminate. If we can have a platform or other method that raises the projectors around 12 inches higher at the origin then we will gain around 7 feet of display area.
This goes beyond our area of expertise so we wanted to see if our community might help us in bringing better experiences to our growing laser audience. Please tag your wise friends and see if they are up for solving this unique challenge. Email or message us if you have a good idea or want more information on the project.
