What You Need to Set Up a Floor Projector

You’ve decided to take the plunge into the world of interactive projection. You’ve watched all the cool videos, seen the possibilities, and now you're ready to set up your own interactive floor projector.


Maybe you're thinking of using a floor projector for a museum exhibit, an indoor playground, or a classroom. No matter what your vision is, you've come to the right place.


Let’s take a look at what you need to set up a floor projector, and some things to consider before you get started.


Where to Set Up an Interactive Floor Projector


First things first, you need to choose the perfect spot for your interactive floor projector. Here are some factors to consider:


  • Space: You’ll need enough room for the projector, the projected screen, and for people to interact with the projection.
  • Lighting: Natural light can interfere with your projection, so you’ll want to choose a space with minimal ambient light, or consider using blackout curtains or blinds. If, for whatever reason, that’s impossible or not ideal, EyeClick offers premium options for brightly lit rooms.
  • Surface: A smooth, flat surface is ideal for floor projection. For a floor projector screen of the highest quality, go for a light-colored non-carpeted floor. If your only option is a dark or carpeted floor, we recommend using a large white mat.
  • Power: Make sure you have access to a power outlet nearby.
  • Wi-Fi: Although EyeClick interactive projectors require internet access only for the initial setup, we recommend that you stay connected for automatic updates and support.


Floor Projector Hardware and Software


When it comes to hardware and software, EyeClick has you covered. All EyeClick projectors come equipped with the same basic hardware, including:


  • State-of-the-art projector: Delivering vibrant, high-resolution images.
  • Hard drive: For storing all your games, activities, and software.
  • High-end internal speakers: Providing immersive audio for your interactive experiences.
  • 3D optical motion sensors: Enabling precise tracking of movements for interactive gameplay.
  • Ceiling mount: For secure installation.


And if you're looking for ultimate portability, check out the new BEAM Mobile. It's like a projector floor mount or projector floor stand, but better. Brilliantly designed into a single robust unit, BEAM Mobile allows you to easily transport the fun between different rooms and locations.


On the software side, EyeClick offers a library of hundreds of interactive games, customizable activities, and cutting-edge software that translates user interactions into real-time changes within the games.



What You Need for Floor Projector Setup


You might be thinking you need a whole bunch of tools and equipment to set up your interactive floor projector, but with EyeClick, you don't need anything! We provide everything you need in a complete package, including the projector, software, and installation. We also keep the interactive floor projector price competitive, making interactive projection more accessible than ever.


Just make sure you have enough indoor space and a ceiling that's between 8-12 feet for our ceiling-mounted devices (not the BEAM Mobile).


Floor Projector Setup: Safety Considerations


Don’t forget about safety! Here are some important things to keep in mind:


  • Placement: Avoid placing your projector in direct sunlight or near any heat sources, as this can damage the projector.
  • Ventilation: Make sure the projector has adequate ventilation to prevent overheating.
  • Weather: Never expose your projector to extreme humidity or rain.
  • Access: Make sure you can easily access the projector for maintenance and cleaning.

FAQ about Floor Projector Setup



How far from the floor should a projector be?


The distance between the projector and the screen depends on the projector’s throw ratio and the desired image size. EyeClick’s ceiling-mounted projectors (Obie and BEAM floor projector) achieve optimal performance from a distance of 8.5 feet.


Can you put a projector on the floor?


Yes, you can put a projector on the floor, but it's not ideal. If you prefer not to install a projector in the ceiling, we recommend the BEAM Mobile.


Where should a projector be placed?


The best place for a projector is on a mount installed into the ceiling, high enough to achieve the desired projection size and angle. This will keep the projector safe and out of reach of players, and also help to avoid any shadows or obstructions.
