Cool product. Best of luck!
For the demos in the video, all the projected screens are simulated right (as in, you added them in post)? I ask because some of the camera moves don't seem to match the projector screen moves.
If so, you should consider adding a "screen images simulated" disclaimer. I get that filming screens is difficult (especially projected screens), but given your promo video is meant to showcase your product, this omission might get you in trouble down the line...
@omicaustin Hi Austin, it's a great point/question. Really any video of any display is simulated because it is not what the eye sees and constrained by the mapping of the CCD/CMOS array and we did an accurate job of portraying how SPUD works All screens, as you mentioned, film differently than the eye perceives so we (just like I imagine every other display product from time immemorial) had to post-process our video to make SPUD look as it does in real life.
@richardginsberg Great question... we had to spend a lot of time figuring that one out! The short answer: we invented (and patented) a new type of screen. The SPUD screen material disperses the light evenly across the screen area, but it doesn't wrinkle like a standard projection screen does:

This is amazing. I don't know when I'll be needing one but I do know I'll eventually need it and want it in my life. Any info on bulb life and replacement cost? @jmintzer@alexander_wesley@owitho
@davidsfeng Thanks for asking! SPUD does not use a lightbulb/lamp in its projection system. The system uses three R/G/B LEDs as the light source. LEDs have a lifespan of approximately 50,000 hours, meaning you could use SPUD for 10 hours a day for well over 10 years before you even had to think about the LED lifespan!
Thanks for posting this Kevin! We're hard at work on our Kickstarter campaign talking to backers and answering questions. Check it out at: https://www.kickstarter.com/proj...
Great - added to my doozy collection. Being a marketer working on hundreds of apps simultaneously, SPUD looks promising in this domain. Can you connect more than two SPUDS and what happens in a case of any wear and tear?
@aymittal you can definitley connect more than 2 SPUDs! The screen is designed to last thousands of cycles and one of the (many!) great things about SPUD is that it is modular so if the screen/shroud assembly is damaged beyond utility (have yet to experience this yet) the entire assembly could potentially be replaced for a relatively low cost.
