The whole idea in one line
A projector standing inside your living room, pointed at your own window, turns the glass into a screen that everyone outside can see. That is it. No ladders, no stakes in the lawn, nothing left out in the rain.
1. Pick the window
The best one is whichever window people walking past can actually see into — usually the front room, sometimes an upstairs bedroom, which is the one that makes people stop walking. Avoid windows with a streetlamp shining directly onto the glass.
2. Give the light something to land on
This is the step most people skip. Bare glass scatters the beam and the figure looks faint from the street. Close a light blind, pull a net curtain across, or tape up a white sheet. Our rear-projection sheet is made for exactly this and clings to the glass without adhesive.
3. Set the projector back
Roughly 1 to 4 metres from the window. Around 2 metres fills an average front window. The rotating base tilts up to 180°, and keystone correction squares the picture up if you have to sit it off to one side of the room.
4. Play something
Three ways:
- USB stick — copy clips onto it, plug it into the back, pick the file. This is the one to use if you want it looping unattended all evening.
- Cast from your phone — screen mirroring from iOS, Windows or Android over Wi-Fi.
- HDMI — a stick, a laptop, a console.
5. Turn the sound up
A silent ghost is a poster. The 5W speaker is what makes someone look up before they have even seen the window.
And on 1 November
Move it to the living room wall. Up to 130 inches, streaming apps, screen mirroring, HDMI for the console. It is a projector that is good at Halloween, not a Halloween gadget that pretends to be a projector.
