1. A robotically controlled projector screen comprising:
- a robotic mount comprising;
a base;
a moveable support connected to said base, said moveable support comprising at least a first portion, a second portion and a third portion, each of said first, second and third portions movable relative to one another and each portion moveable about at least one axis, whereby said moveable support is configured to move about each of an x axis, a y axis and a z axis which are all perpendicular to one another;
at least one motor configured to move said first, second and third portions of said moveable support;
an electronic controller configured to control said at least one motor to move said moveable support; and
a projector screen comprising;
a support structure connected to one of said first, second or third portions of said moveable support; and
a light-reflective material attached to said support structure and arranged to tautly display at least one surface of said material,wherein said surface is moveable about any of said x axis, y axis and z axis through said mount by translation of motion initiated by said at least one motor configured to move said moveable support, for dynamically positioning said surface to an orientation suited for receiving light projection from a robotically controlled and moveable projector.

Abstract
A robotic mount is configured to move an entertainment element such as a video display, a video projector, a video projector screen or a staircase. The robotic mount is movable in multiple degrees of freedom, whereby the associated entertainment element is moveable in three-dimensional space. In one embodiment, a system of entertainment elements are made to move and operate in synchronicity with each other.
