Abstract: A system for performing a shrinking room illusion includes a first group of perforated optics panels defining a first interior space. First lighting is configured to illuminate the first group of perforated optics panels from the first interior space. The system also includes a second group of panels defining a second interior space, wherein the first group of perforated optics panels are nested within the second interior space. Second lighting is configured to illuminate the second group of panels from within the second interior space and positioned beyond the first interior space. A controller of the system is configured to control the first lighting and the second lighting to transition between illuminating the first group of perforated optics panels and illuminating the second group of panels such that a visual illusion of transitioning between the first interior space and the second interior space is provided.

Abstract: Disclosed is apparatus for carrying, protecting, and displaying an electronic device, such as a smartphone. The apparatus comprises a housing having exterior walls defining a cavity configured to slidably receive an electronic device. Vertical and angled slots are formed by removed portions of front and adjacent side walls of the housing, and the slots are sized to receive the electronic device and support the electronic device for display to a user. A rectangular groove is formed in a back wall of the housing facing the cavity that is substantially vertically aligned with the removed portions of the front and adjacent side walls of the housing defining the vertical slot.

Abstract: Disclosed is apparatus for protecting, carrying, and displaying an electronic tablet device. The apparatus comprises a housing with handles and a cavity that receives and surrounds the device. The cavity has a front surface opening configured to expose operative portions of a front surface of the device when disposed in the cavity, one or more rear surface openings that expose operative components of a rear surface of the device when disposed in the housing, and a locking device that secures the device within the housing. The housing may also include wireless speakers. A protective stand has an opening extending therethrough that slidably receives the housing, prevents the stand from loosing contact with the housing when carried, and covers the front and rear openings of the housing when carried. The stand has angled and orthogonal slots formed on an outer surface that support the housing for display.
