| Title: |
Projecting onto an Upper Surface of a Body of Water |
| Abstract: |
A projection system for projecting light such as images or content upon a
liquid surface such as a lake or pool surface. The system includes an
agitation assembly selectively operable to agitate a portion of the upper
surface of liquid to form a projection screen. The system includes a
projector assembly projecting or focusing light onto the projection
screen on the upper surface of the liquid. The liquid is translucent to
light, but the projection screen on the upper surface reflects a portion
of the projected light due to the agitation. The agitation assembly may
include an aeration system with a distribution manifold and is positioned
below the liquid surface and has outlets discharging gas into the liquid
such that air bubbles for the screen. The manifold outlets may be
provided at two or more depths, whereby two or more portions of the
projection screen are generated at differing times.
