[QUOTE="Blakey, post: 2698810, member: 31498"] [b]Projector Pics[/b] Gyrolock turned up early so last night we set it up in the Games Room. Well pleased with the results. We spent about an hour trying different configurations of projector placement and set ups to get the best image on the table top. All in all I am very pleased with the end result. The resultant image on the tabletop is basically square, however it does stretch a little the further away from the projector you go, so the 1" squares on the board are not quite square. However I really don't think that its all that noticeable and I certainly don't think it will cause any problems during play. When up and running the projector was quieter than I thought and you couldn't hear it with just me and the guy who helped set it up chatting - so once we have 5+ of us in there, plus music on the Jukebox, plus various laptops humming along we'll not notice it at all I don't think. I have stuck a big whiteboard on the tabletop. It fits really well, being slightly larger than the table itself. This is to allow us to continue to write on the tabletop when needed - I think this is too useful/important to give up. So we can do that still - and in fact the writeable playing area is now loads bigger than it was using tact tiles. And of course we can write all over the "map" without it getting in the way of the map image which is useful. We can also roll rice all over the board again now - we avoided doing so on the tact tiles. The size of the map image on the tabletop is such that there space all around it for laptops/books to be placed on the board. And of course if you stick your book on top of the map there is no chance you'll get the map smudged or get pen on your book. Images of the fitting and a couple of pics of the resultant maps can be found here: [url]http://www.rodinia.info/GamesRoom/index.htm[/url] If the map images are blurry thats a function of a bad photographer, not a bad image. :-) Will post more images to that site after our all day session tomorrow when the projector will get its first full test. A whole day from 9am through about 1am with all lighting conditions you could imagine for it to be tested in. Cheers Blakey [/QUOTE]
