FAQ
Yes, the system is configured to be very user-friendly. You will have a single power on button which will turn the system on and power-up the PC. Once the system is on you can change settings by pressing the space bar on the wireless controller. It couldn't be easier!
There aren't many limitations as to where the system can be installed; it is all dependent on the amount of ambient light in a given location; as long as the system is away from direct sunlight the options are endless.
At present we do not provide a portable system. However, we are now working on a new prototype that may solve some of the complex issues involved with making a robust mobile system. Presently, the best solution available is to mount a short throw projector in a floor mounted unit � this has been done by another company. This solution has many drawbacks; users must make contact with the floor as the sensor is only working at floor level (rendering it useless to a wheelchair user) Also, having a floor mounted projector on one side means that when a user is near the unit their shadow will obscure the entire image!
This depends on the spec of the PC. The software is very graphics intensive, meaning that an older PC will not be up to the job. (minimum spec PC � Core2Duo E8400 3Ghz, 3GB Ram, Nvidia GT430 Graphics Card with a minimum of 1GB dedicated graphics memory supporting DirectX 11 + PhysX)
Again, this is dependent on the specification. All projector specifications are dependent on Sensory Guru having carried out a site survey in order to ascertain: (1) Ambient Light Level in desired location (2) Suspension Height (3) Required Image Size. If the projector meets the requirements of the environment it can be used!
The system can be used by people with photo sensitive epilepsy, although it is possible that certain applications may increase the likelihood of an individual having a seizure. It would be best to avoid apps where the graphics have lots of moving elements or symmetrical shapes and patterns. More information about epilepsy can be found here
Simply divide the suspension height by the size of the lower lens throw ratio number; if the projector had a throw ratio of 1.15 - 1.85:1 we would take the lower number 1.15 and divide this by the ceiling height, this will provide the width of the image. We then multiply the resulting number by 0.75 to work out the height! Ex. 1.15 lens from 3 metres would be: 3 / 1.15 = 2.60: we then multiply 2.60 x 0.75 = 1.95... Image size from a 1.15 throw ratio lens at 3 metres = 2.60 x 1.95M
Yes, if you would like to have a go at fixing your own system we can provide software and content. You will be responsible for sourcing all of the equipment (we will provide a spec sheet to help you make the right choices) Please contact us for more info! tech@sensoryguru.co.uk
