  There isn't a need for 3D mapping, the projectors will be mounted above the screen, so we'll need to correct for distortion.

So the question is, what is the most cost effective simple multi-projector setup.</p>

Comments.Text: @Bart Arondson as far as the trigger, what we want is a way to start the presentation when someone enters the room. It might mean that the presentation starts when a door is opened, or someone passes a sensor.

Comments.Text: Ah I see. Isn't it easier to just have someone press the button when someone enters the room without fiddling with sensors? Of course it would be nice if it would work, but I would consider it more as a bonus.
