How to Set Up a Floor Projector

Setting up a floor projector takes 4 things: a ceiling or truss mounting point, enough height for your target image size, a standard power outlet, and a flat, low-gloss floor surface. A professional interactive floor projection install typically takes under 2 hours and requires no construction.

Looking for pricing and models rather than setup steps? See our interactive floor projector systems.

The 2 terms refer to the same system: the projector creates the floor projection, and the motion sensor is what makes it interactive. Whether you call it a floor projector, floor projection, or projection on the floor, the setup requirements below are identical.

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.

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.

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).

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.
