INTERACtion
Magic Carpet™ allows multiple users to interact at the same time using a variety of different inputs, opening up a world of collaborative exploration and play. Output the image to a second monitor to enable eye gaze users to interact with peers that use body movements.

DYNAMICS
Magic Carpet™ applications offer dynamic physics capabilities allowing movements to interact with virtual objects in a realistic way. Physics properties can be adapted so that small movements can be amplified to create a larger audiovisual effect.

Participants use their limbs and body to interact with the content, helping to enhance their sense of movement while shifting position, orientation and reaching out to interact with game objects. Magic Carpet™ is designed to get people moving and exploring their environment in a safe way.

FAQ’S
CAN MAGIC CARPET PROJECT ON WALLS?
Magic Carpet is designed for horizontal surfaces and as such it is not suitable for wall projection. If you are looking for wall projection, check out our Magic Mirror and Magic Room systems, which have been designed for vertical surfaces and screens!
IS MAGIC CARPET THE BEST INTERACTIVE FLOOR?
We get asked this question often and our answer is always the same: do your research and check out a demo from any other interactive projection system supplier, then see Magic Carpet. Those that do this choose Magic Carpet.
CAN I USE MY OWN HARDWARE COMPONENTS?
Yes, we have a software only option for Magic Carpet for those that would like to setup their own system. It will be your responsibility to ensure your hardware meets the minimum specification for Magic Carpet software. Specificaiton available on request.
what is the best surface to project on to?
We supply matt white vinyl with every Magic Carpet system. Any light surface will work OK including tables and trays. The plainer the surface the better the clarity of the image but the system will work on any surface.
do you provide on-site demos?
Yes, we provide demos throughout the UK. Overseas customers will be able to contact a local partner to arrange a demonstration. Please see partners list for more info on your local partner.
does the system have an auto mode?
Yes, you can set up playlists and schedule them to reduce the requirement for manned operation. The system can be scheduled to shutdown automatically as well.
