Underwater image projection display system, lighting control system and device and method of operating same
First Claim
1. An underwater image projection system submerged in a body of water and projecting an image within said body of water, comprising:
- an at least one enclosure;
a lens assembly;
at least one submerged projection element with an at least one projected light source projecting an image within said body of water from the projection element;
at least one light source steering or modulating device;
a system controller coupled to and controlling the at least one projected light source and the at least one light source steering or modulating device;
a user input device configured to receive a user input of image data to the controller and to provide for user control of display of the image data, the user input device including a graphical user interface, wherein the controller interprets the image data into a set of image control variables and executes control of the at least one projected light source and at least one light source steering device in coordination with each other and projects the image through the projection element with the projected light source by controlling the at least one projected light source steering or modulating device to project from underwater a static or animated image on an underwater surface of the body of water;
further comprising an at least one further image steering device; and
at least one heat sink for cooling the underwater image projection system.

Abstract
An underwater image projection system submerged in a body of water and projecting an image within said body of water is provided having an enclosure with a lens assembly. A projection element has a light source projecting an image within the body of water from the projection element with an at least one light source steering the image. A system controller is coupled to and controls the projected light source, the projected light source steering device and the further image steering device. A user inputs image data to the controller through the user input device and the controller interprets the image data into a set of image control variables and executes control of the projected light source and image source and further image steering device in coordination and projects the image through the projection element to project from underwater a static or animated image on an underwater surface of the body of water.
