Installation Requirements


The DEFENDEX-ESPGX is a self-contained trans-media system, requiring no outside video or sound support. Ideally the DEFENDEX-ESPGX would be set-up with a 6 to 8 foot perimeter around it in the corner of a space. This will provide enough room for a user to directly interact with the DEFENDEX-ESPGX, while others interact with it as passive observers (fig. 1). The DEFENDEX-ESPGX stands 62.25 inches tall (fig. 1), so it should fit easily into any standard size room.

The provided lighting should be low so that an incandescent bulb hung over the DEFENDEX-ESPGX will serve as the primary light source (fig. 2). We will provide our own incandescent bulb and lighting-instrument, we just need a way to hang the bulb. To power the entire system, including the lighting, all that is needed is a standard 120v electrical outlet.
