[QUOTE="Maelfactor, post: 2061670, member: 29199"] [b]Under Table Design[/b] I worked on an under table projector system as a test project with a previous employer. The major concern was the distance required between the projector and the surface. The solution was to mount the projector (a small one from BlackBox) directly underneath the table top, but offset to one side. It pointed downword at an angle towards an optical grade mirror (one where the silvering is on the front of the glass so that there was no refraction). The mirror could be smaller than expected as it was approximately 1/2 the distance so that the image was not full-sized. The throw distance for a 24" x 36" image was about 6' and could be achieved in this method. The keystone function of the projector was used to make the final image square on the surface. The surface was a sheet of plexiglass with a vellum sheet attached to catch the image. FYI: You can get optical grade mirrors from inside old Projection TVs. [/QUOTE]
