Abstract

The subject invention concerns a display system comprising an interactive display surface and a projector for projecting images onto the display surface. The display surface and the projector are movable in a vertical direction. Calibration between an image projected from the projector and displayed on the interactive display surface is maintained. Following movement of the display screen and the projector, no re-calibration of the interactive display is required. The movement in a vertical direction is between at least two positions for projecting images onto the display surface. The movement may be continuously between said two positions or in discrete steps.
