Original Abstract Submitted

a spatial light system that may, for example, be used to project image content onto surfaces of a room. the system may include two or more projection units for emitting light onto surfaces within a room. the system may include a controller and two or more projection units, each module including an led array, an array of light pipes, and a condenser lens. two or more projection units may be connected to a flexible strip that provides power and data (e.g., serial data) to the projection units. two or more flex strips may be connected together. the flex strips provide a serially-connected, flexible modular architecture for spatial light systems that allow the projection units to be conformed to a variety of configurations and shapes.
