Abstract
A system includes a light source configured to emit light; a lens assembly including an optical component and at least one lens; a fiber optic cable configured to transmit the light emitted from the light source to the lens assembly; an image forming layer; and a projection medium. The projection medium includes ulexite, selenite, or a combination thereof. The image forming layer is provided between the lens assembly and the projection medium.
Background
BACKGROUND
Special lighting and visual effects may be provided at a venue. The special lightning and visual effects may include images. In some situations, the images may be provided, to guests located at the venue, for educational purposes. In some situations, the images may be provided, to the guests located at the venue, for entertainment purposes. SUMMARY
In some implementations, a system includes a light source configured to emit light; a lens assembly including an optical component and at least one lens; a fiber optic cable configured to transmit the light emitted from the light source to the lens assembly; an image forming layer; and a projection medium. The projection medium includes ulexite, selenite, or a combination thereof. The image forming layer is provided between the lens assembly and the projection medium.
In some implementations, a method includes emitting light from a light source; transmitting, using a fiber optic cable, the light emitted from the light source to a lens assembly, the lens assembly comprising an optical component and at least one lens; projecting an image, using the lens assembly, on a rear surface of an image forming layer provided at a rear surface of a projection medium, the projection medium comprising ulexite, selenite, or a combination thereof; and displaying the image on a front surface of the projection medium.
