Using Projectors for Museum Displays and Other Creative Presentations

Visuals are important to the learning process. Consequently, most educational institutions now use projectors as teaching aids. Learning recreational facilities such as museums, zoos, planetariums and aquariums can also benefit from the use of projectors. This is especially true when it comes to setting up displays and exhibits.

You’ll want to make sure that your presenting images are clear and easy to view. To do this, you’ll need to purchase the right projector for your specific needs.
 
 
Brightness
Lighting often varies in museums and aquariums. Therefore, it’s important to choose a projector that can work in rooms that are really dark or saturated with light. To ensure good images in all types of lighting, you should choose a projector with a minimum of 3000 lumens. A projector with 3000 lumens or more can also work for outdoor presentations.

Lightweight
Portability is also important. Choose a projector that is both small and lightweight so that you can easily move it from room to room. You may consider choosing a larger projector if the device will be mounted in an auditorium or other permanent exhibit area.
 
A Short Throw Lens
Next, look for a projector with a built-in short throw lens. This is an important feature to have while visitors walk in and out of exhibits or presentations at these facilities. A short throw lens will allow the projector to be really close to the screen without distorting the image. This will prevent people from walking between the screen and the projector and thus blocking the picture.
 
Connectivity
You’ll want to be able to connect your projector to other sources such as computers and DVD players. To ensure connectivity to other equipment, your projector should have video, audio and HDMI inputs.
 
Quiet Operation and Low Maintenance
Finally, make sure the projector you choose is quiet and will not disrupt the enjoyment of your exhibit. Other features including a long bulb life and no hassle set-up are important to consider as well.
