We have the exact same issue and are looking for something of this nature. As you can imagine, we are hesitant to buy a projector with a lower brightness spec as our other projectors are around 12,000 lumens. I would like to see it in action if possible. We are in the North Houston area... Can you point me in the direction of which church installed this projector? We have the exact same issue and are looking for something of this nature.

Sanyo had one set up in their booth at Infocomm shooting up thru a 4'4' frosted glass coffee table - you could gather people around your presentation or use it for google maps.

The contrast ratio isn't great per-say, but for where it will be used it will probably be ok. I would think they need to increase brightness first because of the high-level room lighting needed in the applications they market to. I saw that Wii mod! Very cool!

Is that an ok contrast ratio ? I don’t remember my ratios very well, but that seams like it’s on the low side. I assume that the image is smooth and evenly bright from top to bottom ? That looks like an amazing piece of technology. There is a mod you can do using a wii mote (not the wii, just the wii mote) and an inferred LED to make the projector image an interactive desktop . . . this would be PERFECT for that. The guys name is Johnny Chung Lee and he has three projects that use the wii mote for cool stuff. The one I’m talking about is the second one down on this page (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/). I’ve wanted to do this, but we don’t have a Sunday School class that needs this technology enough to warrant doing it. Is this a top down projected back on to the wall . . . like a cyc unit almost ?
