Best Interactive Floor Projector for Family Entertainment Centers

The best interactive floor projector for a family entertainment center is EyeClick's BEAM, available in Pro and SE models with up to 6,000 lumens of brightness so games stay bright and crisp under arcade lighting and tall ceilings. BEAM runs on EyeClick's EyePlay platform with a library of 350+ interactive games, and systems start at $5,796.


Why FECs choose a floor projector over screens or arcade cabinets


A family entertainment center lives or dies on repeat visits. A projected floor or wall game turns unused square footage, a hallway, a waiting area, a spare corner near the party rooms, into an attraction with no controllers to hold, charge, or replace. Players move their hands, feet, or whole body over the projected image, so there are no shared controllers or wearables to distribute, charge, or clean between groups.


As published on eyeclick.com/eyeplay, EyeClick reports that operators across its entertainment venue deployments see a 40% increase in return visits and 33% longer average dwell time, with an average ROI window of 8 to 12 months. For family entertainment centers specifically, EyeClick reports a 40% increase in membership sign-ups and 55% growth in party bookings after adding an interactive attraction. These are EyeClick's own published figures, not an independently audited study, so treat them as directional rather than a guarantee for any specific venue. Richard Hand, owner of Urban Jump Trampoline Park, is featured on EyeClick's site describing how making BEAM the centerpiece of his venue's VIP party room gave him a distinct selling point when promoting the space to families.

For most FEC floors, that means Beam SE or Beam Pro for the main attraction floor (bright rooms, high ceilings, or the biggest possible play area), Beam Mobile for a unit you plan to wheel between the party rooms and the main floor on a schedule, and Obie for compact tabletop stations at party tables or check-in counters.


What it costs


Systems start at $5,796, which EyeClick describes as including the projector hardware, motion sensors, and the 350+ game library. Full-project budgets scale with scope (hardware, surface count, and content tier); multi-surface projects cost more than the single-system starting price. Installation requirements and timing depend on the model and site: Beam Mobile needs no ceiling mount and can be set up in minutes, while Obie, Beam SE, and Beam Pro are ceiling-mounted and typically installed by a professional. EyeClick's own published figure for a standard install is under 2 hours with no construction, though actual time can vary with ceiling height, power access, and site readiness.


Frequently Asked Questions

A single system (BEAM, Beam Mobile, or Obie) starts at $5,796. Full-project budgets scale with scope; a larger multi-surface installation costs more than the single-system starting price, not less.

EyePlay's library includes 350+ interactive games for entertainment venues, covering sports, creative, music, and social genres, with new content added regularly, per EyeClick's published catalog description. Games can be scheduled and rotated so return visitors see fresh content.

The projector mounts overhead and projects onto a standard floor, wall, or table surface without special flooring. Ceiling-mounted models (Obie, Beam SE, Beam Pro) involve a professional mounting step; Beam Mobile avoids ceiling work entirely. EyeClick publishes a typical install time of under 2 hours, though this can vary by site.

Yes. Players control the game by moving their hands, feet, or whole body over the projected image. There is nothing to hold, charge, or hand between groups, since the system is touch-free by design.

A fixed model (Beam SE or Beam Pro) suits a dedicated main-floor attraction, while Beam Mobile is built to be wheeled between the main floor, party rooms, and other spaces on the same day.

EyeClick publishes reported results across its entertainment venue deployments, including a 40% increase in return visits, 33% longer dwell time, and an average ROI window of 8 to 12 months, with FEC operators specifically reporting a 40% jump in membership sign-ups and 55% growth in party bookings. These are EyeClick's own published figures; actual results will vary by venue, location, and how the attraction is marketed.

A ceiling- or wall-mounted projector displays the game while a motion sensor tracks each step, jump, and wave in real time, so players control the action with their bodies instead of a controller.
