ABSTRACT:
A hand held device that accepts a digital image, and transfers it to a wall, ceiling, floor, or any smooth surface. The hand held unit consists of a print element array in addition to a positioning mechanism that determines the absolute position of said device on the wall. Said positioning mechanism consists of a plurality of extruding tape, which in conjunction with the motion of the device over the surface, provides linear measurements from a plurality of fixed reference points to a fixed location on the device. The combination of said tapes provide sufficient information to triangulate the exact location and orientation of said device on the surface, subsequently providing sufficient information to impart the proper portion of said digital image to the surface, as said device moves across the surface. Repeated sweeping movements of said device over the surface will render further portions of the image, until it is complete.
