Installing a Briolight Interactive Floor

Installing a Briolight Interactive Floor

This article explains how the Briolight interactive floor was installed in 2020, what customers could expect from the installation team, and how the system was commissioned. Current technical requirements may differ by model.

Interactive projection equipment intended for schools, kindergartens, sensory rooms and Inclusive Resource Centres must be securely installed and used according to the applicable safety instructions. Briolight employed trained installers based in Mykolaiv and other Ukrainian cities.

The ceiling-mounted housing described in the original article combined a computer running the software, a proprietary optical sensing system with two cameras, and a horizontally positioned wide-angle projector. The historical software library was described as containing 158 effects.

Installers first checked the supporting ceiling structure and secured the housing to appropriate structural elements. Concealing cables and protecting components within a housing also helped to prevent accidental contact.

The article listed a system weight of approximately 10 kg and a typical installation height of no more than 5 m. For ceilings lower than 2.75 m, an alternative room or a special wall-mounted ultra-wide-angle model was suggested. These figures are historical and must be checked against current specifications.

For some configurations a white performance-grade floor covering was offered. Dark or patterned floors can reduce contrast and projection clarity. Curtains or blinds can improve visibility in bright rooms.

Following physical installation, technicians connected the system, loaded the effects, configured settings and calibrated the projected image and sensor response. Staff also received an introduction to operating the interactive floor.

Before installation, arrange a technical survey and confirm the current model's requirements for mounting, electrical safety, surface finish and lighting.
