Abstract: In some embodiments, a tool set may enable a designer to specify how a distributed manifestation will unfold over time within a particular physical space, and view a simulation of processing performed by receiver units in response to receiving electromagnetic signals transmitted by one or more projector units within the space according to user-specified parameters. The tool set may enable a user to specify the locations of and movement by one or more projector units (thus defining how signals are incident upon receiving units); whether or not optics components are used; alter the zoom rate of a projector unit; simulate signal degradation; vary the number of receiving units in areas within the space; and/or otherwise specify how signals will be transmitted. As such, the user may produce more sophisticated, cohesive and visually stunning distributed manifestations than otherwise would have been possible.

Abstract: Systems and method for distributed manifestation are described. One such system may comprise a data generator configured to generate data sets comprising state data and corresponding spatial coordinate data. The data sets may be encoded so as to allow a receiving unit to operate within its dynamic range. The data sets may be transmitted, using one or more projectors, in the direction of a target area. The target area may comprise a first area and a second area. In some circumstances, the first and second areas do not overlap in space. In other circumstances, the first and the second areas may overlap, at least partially. The system may further comprise a processor configured to provide a synchronization sequence for synchronizing the projectors to one another.
