0:01Being able to display things and get
0:03creative and take a boring sim room
0:07and turn it into this kind of wow factor
0:10and making it uh more personable for you
0:14is it's really the next level thing to
0:16do.
0:17Uh so if you want to make your sim room
0:19go from this
0:22to this
0:24then stay tuned.
0:27>> [music]
0:37[music]
0:44>> It is time to take your sim room to the
0:46next level with floor projection. So
0:48first off with floor projection, there's
0:50a few things that you need. First, you
0:52need another projector. Um so I will
0:54drop a link in to the description of the
0:57one that I have. I purchased from
0:58Amazon. It's sub 150. Uh I got really
1:01lucky. It's super bright. It's uh not a
1:04short throw, but it cast a pretty big uh
1:07image um and takes up majority of my
1:09floor. Uh so that's the one thing you
1:11kind of want to think about. What's your
1:13ceiling height?
1:14What's the throw? How big of an image do
1:16you want? And will it create enough
1:19space for you to work with on your
1:20projector? The second thing is
1:22brightness. The brighter the better. If
1:23you're in environment with
1:25uh ambient light
1:27or you want to have the lights on,
1:29obviously you're going to want a
1:30brighter projector. Uh so just keep that
1:32in mind. OBS, we're going to have to
1:34download OBS on a PC. Uh the third thing
1:37is we're going to need HDMI or display
1:40port cables. So on your PC
1:43whether you're using a laptop or a
1:44desktop, desktop obviously is going to
1:46be better. OBS does
1:48take up some CPU. Uh so if you're
1:51running your sim software, Spotify,
1:53other things, plus OBS be prepared
1:57for it to take up a lot of resources.
1:59So, obviously desktop's going to be the
2:01best thing. Um if you have a HDMI or a
2:04display port available, that's what
2:05you're going to do. So, if you have a
2:06display port available, then what you're
2:08going to want to get is a HDMI cable
2:10with a display port active adapter.
2:12If you have an HDMI
2:14port available, then it's just simple.
2:15It's HDMI from your new projector down
2:18to your PC.
2:20Let's look at how we download OBS.
2:24All right. So, we are going to Google
2:26OBS.
2:28Should be the first thing that pops up.
2:30You're going to click on Open Broadcast
2:31Software.
2:33From here, you're going to navigate over
2:34to downloads.
2:37And it's pretty easy. If you're using
2:38Windows, it's going to be right here.
2:40You're going to hit the download
2:41installer. If you're using Mac or Linux,
2:43obviously you're going to have to scroll
2:44down and and do a different um
2:47uh download link.
2:49But, for Windows, you're going to click
2:51download installer. As soon as you hit
2:53that download installer, it's going to
2:54send it up here.
2:57You're just going to click through and
2:58navigate through that download. Um it's
3:00no zip file. It's super easy. Once you
3:02run everything, it's going to add the
3:04icon to your desktop and auto-launch.
3:08All right. So, once we have OBS
3:10downloaded and we open OBS, this is what
3:12the
3:14uh
3:15the software will look like.
3:17And if you don't know much about OBS or
3:19how to do scenes and sources, I do
3:22recommend that you watch uh a video that
3:24I posted um
3:27earlier in the year of how to add
3:29sources and scenes, or just YouTube any
3:31type of video or quick beginner's guide
3:34to OBS and how to down how to
3:37uh create scenes and add sources. We'll
3:40go through it um as we're building our
3:43floor projection. So, if you just follow
3:44along, you'll be able to kind of have a
3:47beginner's guide as we're going through.
3:49So, the first thing we're going to do is
3:51you're going to have a scene here.
3:53We're going to right click that.
3:59The first thing we're going to do is
4:00we're going to have a scene up here.
4:01We're going to right click that and we
4:03are going to want to rename it as I
4:05already did.
4:07Floor
4:09projection.
4:12Okay.
4:13Uh if you don't have one, you can hit
4:15the plus sign, add it, and then rename
4:17it.
4:18All right. So, really floor projection
4:20is
4:21what you want it to be.
4:23I am a huge component of
4:27not a lot of clutter, not a lot of
4:29things on the floor,
4:31but enough to make it a wow factor
4:35and make it
4:38useful and but not clutter. So,
4:43I want it to be
4:45clean and I want everything to be
4:47symmetrical, uh but I don't want to just
4:49throw logos all over the place. So,
4:51uh first thing that we're going to do is
4:53we are going to create our hitting box.
4:56Um and so, with floor projection, the
4:58main reason why people want to do it is
5:01you want a spot to show people
5:04um where to hit the ball from. Um you
5:06know, if you're using a a floor launch
5:08monitor, uh floor base, then the hitting
5:10areas are not as big. Uh so, maybe you
5:13want to show people where to put the
5:15ball at.
5:16Uh so, let's kind of step through um
5:19going through the hitting box first. The
5:21first thing we're going to do
5:23is we're going to add the hitting box.
5:25So, what we're going to do is we're
5:26going to hit the plus sign down here on
5:28sources.
5:30We're going to go to color. The first
5:32thing we're going to do is we're going
5:33to add a color and it's just going to be
5:34white. It's going to take up the whole
5:36canvas.
5:37Uh so, we're going to want to resize
5:38this. Guys, there's three ways to um
5:41resize the boxes on OBS and this is the
5:45biggest part. I want to talk through
5:47this first because as you start seeing
5:49me add more sources, it's going to be
5:52rinse and repeat. It depends on where
5:54you're grabbing it from. Is it going to
5:55be from your sim software? Is it going
5:57to be from the internet like we're about
5:59to do? Is it a logo that you've created?
6:02So,
6:03depending on where you go get the
6:04source, it's going to be different. But
6:06how you put it into OBS and how you
6:09resize it is all the same. So, let's
6:11talk through the first three the three
6:14ways to resize.
6:16So, the first one is you can drag you
6:18can grab the corner and you can just
6:20resize the entire image. It is going to
6:23keep its
6:25um its resolution from a standpoint of
6:28its rectangle type shape, kind of that
6:3116 by 9 image. It's just going to make
6:33it smaller and bigger as you can see as
6:35I drag this, okay?
6:37The second one is going to be
6:40you can manipulate the sides or the top.
6:43You can make them longer or shorter and
6:46now you can manipulate the image. If you
6:48hold down the shift key
6:50and then I drag this, you can see it's
6:52just changing the x-axis. That's it.
6:58Conversely, if I go up top here and I
7:01hold the
7:03uh shift key and go up and down, it is
7:06changing the y-axis, so to speak.
7:09Okay?
7:10The third thing and what is really,
7:12really important when we're doing floor
7:14projection is how to crop. So, if I grab
7:17this side right here and it's going to
7:18look a little weird.
7:20You're not going to really be able to
7:21tell because it's a white image, but if
7:23I hold the alt key,
7:24you'll see that this side is coming in
7:27and it turns green.
7:29So, what am I what I'm doing is
7:31everything out here has been cropped.
7:33So, if there was an image
7:37Let's go back to full. If there was an
7:39image right here, it would be cropping
7:41it out. And so, you'll see that as we
7:43start adding snippets of our SIM
7:44software, um in our case it's going to
7:46be GS Pro. So, first things first is
7:49we're just going to create this hitting
7:50box.
7:51Okay? So, that's just going to live
7:53right here.
7:55All right, next thing we're going to do
7:56is we're actually going to put an
7:58outline on this. I think this is really
7:59cool.
8:00Um and it's just an added factor. Um
8:03what we're going to do is we're going to
8:04go back here. We're going to go and
8:06we're going to Google
8:08your favorite color. So, what we're
8:10going to do is we're just going to
8:11Google um
8:12we'll say blue. So, blue
8:15outline.
8:18And it could be any of these. So, um it
8:20doesn't matter what the background looks
8:21like and I'll show you why.
8:23So, let's just go ahead and
8:25we're going to click images.
8:29Let's grab
8:33Let's just grab we want one that's kind
8:35of All right, this one right here. So,
8:36it's kind of glowing. Let's grab that
8:38one.
8:39And we're going to
8:42save this.
8:44So, save image as.
8:46We're going to put this in our downloads
8:48and we're going to put
8:50outline
8:52box.
8:53Okay?
8:54So, that's saved.
8:56We're going to go back to our OBS.
8:58We're going to hit sources and then
9:01remember, we saved this image. So, we're
9:03going to save it as uh we're going to
9:04hit sources. We're going to click image.
9:07Add new image. We're going to browse in
9:09our downloads.
9:11And we should see outline box.
9:13Okay? And you may not like this one.
9:15This is just one I grabbed quick.
9:18All right.
9:19So, the big thing about OBS is you can
9:21layer things. Um so, what we're going to
9:23want to do with this is we're going to
9:24want to
9:28move our hitting box up above our image.
9:31So, now our hitting box is above.
9:34We're going going this.
9:39Hitting box. Oh.
9:43And we're going to rename this
9:47outline.
9:51And so what we want to do now is we want
9:54to use what we talked earlier, shift
9:58key.
10:00I don't like how thick that's going to
10:01be, so I'm going to just use the outer
10:03ring of this outline.
10:06Try to get it symmetrical.
10:10And so I'm using the shift key. That's
10:11all I'm doing.
10:13So now I have a blue
10:15outline of our hitting box.
10:18Okay?
10:19Now, because I don't want anything to
10:20happen with these, OBS 101, I'm going to
10:23lock them. Okay? So now I can't do
10:26anything with them once they're locked.
10:27If I want them to disappear, all I got
10:29to do is hit the eye. So if you have a
10:30logo on here that you want when some
10:32people come over, you can go ahead and
10:33have it on here. You just hit the eye
10:35and then uh make it visible or not.
10:38All right, so we're going to make sure
10:39that these are locked.
10:41And
10:43the second thing I'm going to do is I'm
10:45going to click
10:47and then I'm going to hit shift and I'm
10:48going to click on that one, so I
10:49highlight both of them. And I want to
10:51group these.
10:53And the reason why I'm grouping these
10:54two only
10:55is because now when I want to resize
10:57them,
10:58it'll do it by itself. I mean, it'll do
11:00it together. So I don't have to worry
11:02about doing what I did earlier. All
11:04right, so now our hitting box is
11:05complete. And we're just going to leave
11:07this over here.
11:09All right, let's do a putting line.
11:12Same thing.
11:14We're going to do
11:18white
11:19dashes.
11:23I I use this one pretty frequently, so
11:25we're going to actually
11:27save this image.
11:31And we're going to name this one
11:35putting line.
11:37I already have it, so I'm going to do
11:382.0.
11:39And we're going to put this on our
11:41downloads.
11:43All right.
11:44We're going to come back to OBS.
11:47Same thing, add source,
11:51add image,
11:53and this time we're browsing for
12:01putting line.
12:02We're going to hit okay.
12:05And this is where we're going to grab
12:06our
12:09tools from earlier, and we're going to
12:11crop.
12:12So, we're going to use this line right
12:14here. So, what we're going to do
12:15is we're going to hold the alt key,
12:17and we're going to crop down
12:21till we have just
12:24that line.
12:26So, this is going to show up as a
12:27putting line.
12:30Like that.
12:31Uh don't worry about the background,
12:32that's not going to
12:33be seen on the floor as we as we get to
12:36that point.
12:37All right. So, now we have a box and a
12:39putting line. Let's start adding some of
12:40our SIM software stuff.
12:45One thing to note, too,
12:47is
12:48you're not going to drag this window
12:50onto your projector once it's installed.
12:52You're doing this on your normal uh
12:55primary monitor. Cuz what we're going to
12:57do is we're actually going to send it to
12:58that projector at the end, and then I'll
13:00show you how to do that.
13:01But now, um
13:03as we're adding these images, you're
13:05going to want to make sure that you have
13:06your SIM software loaded. So, again,
13:08we're using GS Pro. So, what I've done
13:10is I've went ahead and
13:13loaded GS Pro,
13:15clicked on a course to play, cuz that's
13:18what I want to grab. I want to grab when
13:20I am playing, cuz we are going to be
13:21grabbing images and snippets from our
13:24display, and we're going to be added in
13:26in here.
13:27Um and so there's two different ways to
13:29do that. I'm going to show you both. Um
13:32one is going to be game capture and
13:34you're just going to be adding quite a
13:35few of those. The only problem is you
13:37can't really rename them rename them. So
13:39you're going to have multiple and so if
13:40you want to resize it, it gets a little
13:42tough.
13:43Um that is unless CPU way. If you're on
13:45a laptop, um then you're going to you're
13:48definitely going to want to go that
13:49route. Um adding game capture is uh
13:53easier on your PC so to speak.
13:55If we do display capture, display
13:57capture you can add as many display
13:59captures as you would like including the
14:01same one over and over and you can
14:02rename them. So it does keep it clean
14:05from a standpoint of you can name each
14:06individual snippet um so you know which
14:09one to move. However, um it does take a
14:12little bit more um on your or it adds a
14:15little bit more to your CPU
14:18um because you are
14:20taking a display and you're putting it
14:22in OBS. So it is a little bit more
14:24demanding. So if you're on a laptop, I
14:26would probably go game capture
14:27standpoint. If you're using a desktop
14:30and if you have a high CPU and a high
14:32graphics card, then you're going to be
14:33fine doing either one.
14:36All right. So what we're going to do is
14:37we're going to add source.
14:42We'll select game capture, add new game
14:44capture. We're going to hit this drop
14:45down. We want to select and capture a
14:47specific window.
14:49That window is going to be
14:51GS Pro.
14:53We're going to hit okay. So it's going
14:54to make GS Pro really big. We're going
14:56to have to resize this as we spoke
14:58earlier. We're going to
15:00And guys, if stuff's not locked like I
15:02have it there, we need to rename this.
15:08putting line
15:09And we're going to lock that so
15:13I don't accidentally move it.
15:15All right.
15:16So alt key to crop.
15:17We're going to crop there.
15:21I'm going to make this a little bit
15:22bigger.
15:27Crop to there.
15:29And sometimes when you're cropping it is
15:31easier to make this image bigger once
15:32you get to a certain point. That way you
15:35don't leave the little, you know, the
15:37the background. Uh you want it to be
15:39just that image.
15:44There we go.
15:45Now, once it's that, we can let go of
15:47the Alt key and just resize it.
15:50And we're going to just put this right
15:51here for now.
15:54Now, I cannot add
15:56another game capture.
15:59Okay? Cuz I already have one.
16:01The one thing I can do, if you want to
16:02go this route, is you can
16:05right click,
16:10copy,
16:12and then right click,
16:14paste.
16:16It's going to add the same thing.
16:19And what I do from there is I just
16:21uncrop it. And then I'm going to show
16:23you the other way
16:25in just a second. So, now let's uncrop
16:27this
16:29by holding our Alt key.
16:32I am searching for the course and the
16:35name.
16:36So, we're going to move this image
16:37around
16:39continuing using the crop key
16:42cuz everything is cropped
16:45until I find in the top right, and you
16:47can look at your impact screen
16:50to see where it was going to be.
16:52All right. Now, we are going to get the
16:54course name.
17:03Cuz I want this on the floor.
17:06And so, I'm just going to show you how
17:07to put um And guys, I do these remotely.
17:09So,
17:11I've set up floor projection remotely
17:12for people
17:14I don't know,
17:1520 plus times. This is just the most
17:17common type things people want.
17:22All right, so we're going to let that
17:23live there.
17:25I'm going to use the shift key to make
17:27it a little skinnier, that way it
17:28matches.
17:34All right.
17:35Now, I'm going to show you how to do uh
17:37the other way.
17:39Shift key to bring that out cuz we want
17:41this to be just be symmetrical and we'll
17:43play with it a little bit later. All
17:44right, so now we're going to get the
17:45ball data.
17:47Um so, if you want ball data on your
17:48floor, this can be from the SIM
17:50software. If you have a um a second
17:53screen, so if you're using ProTee Labs,
17:57V-Track, Uneekor, any of these uh that
18:00have an actual
18:03um
18:04software
18:06on a second screen, you can do that as
18:08well. But, for this uh
18:12for for this one, we're just going to
18:14use the ball data from GS Pro. So, this
18:15time I'm going to do a display capture
18:17just so you guys can see how to do that.
18:20So, we're going to select display
18:21capture. We're going to keep that
18:24automatic. We're going to switch this
18:26this display to the actual display that
18:28you're using. So, in my case, what is
18:31projected to my actual impact screen is
18:34the Optoma. We're going to select that
18:37and hit okay.
18:38And then from here, it's the same thing.
18:40We're going to drag and get this image
18:42smaller.
18:52Okay, we want this ball data
18:54on the right-hand side. So, we're going
18:56to alt key crop.
19:00Crop down.
19:03Alt key crop up.
19:06And crop like that. And we want to make
19:08this bigger cuz I can already see some
19:10edges. So, no key, no shift, no alt.
19:14Make this bigger.
19:16I can see this edge needs to be cropped
19:17just a little bit more.
19:20All right.
19:21So, now
19:23we can leave that here.
19:28And what we can start doing now is we
19:30can start kind of visualizing what this
19:32will look like on the floor.
19:34What we're going to do next is we're
19:35actually going to send this to the
19:37projector that's on the floor.
19:41All right, to actually send this to your
19:43projector that's facing the floor,
19:45remember you're not going to move this
19:47entire window. You're not having OBS on
19:50that projector. You're going to keep
19:52this on your main primary computer.
19:55You're going to right click floor
19:57projection.
19:58You're going to go down here and you're
20:00going to hit open scene projector.
20:03You're going to have a list of
20:04projectors or displays that are
20:06connected to your computer.
20:07Uh in my case, I have four different
20:09displays.
20:10Um
20:11the projector that I have in the ceiling
20:14face down is the Mstar demo. So, I'm
20:16going to select that.
20:19And it's going to throw it down to the
20:20floor. Let's check it out.
20:22All right, so as you can see over here,
20:24uh we're going to put a camera down on
20:26the floor so we can kind of see how
20:27we're going to move this around.
20:29All right, so first things first, let's
20:30make sure we get our putting
20:33Um so, what we're going to do is we're
20:34going to make sure we unlock everything.
20:40All right. We're going to move our
20:41putting
20:44there.
20:48We're going to move our box right there.
20:50We need to resize this a little bit. And
20:52again, this resizing,
20:54um we're going to hold the shift key.
20:55You want this to be
20:58you know, honestly
21:01the size that you would want. I mean,
21:03I'm I like it to be the entire hitting
21:04strip.
21:12I have an overhead launch monitor, so as
21:14far as like the zone, it it's totally
21:16fine. Let us leave it there for now, and
21:18you can see the putting line. Um I want
21:21to make this longer. I'm going to hold
21:22down the shift key.
21:24I'm going to drag that all the way to
21:25the edge. All right, so we have a
21:27putting line that's a little bit longer.
21:29All right, I want this to live up here.
21:31I do want to make it bigger.
21:37You're going to start seeing these
21:38things take shape on the floor.
21:56Okay, let's go ahead and grab our box
21:58our ball data.
22:00We're going to put that a little
22:01smaller.
22:03That way it's at the edge.
22:08All right, so that's just a few things
22:09that we have on here. Let's say we want
22:11to add a logo, so let's do that.
22:13Um we're going to go ahead and go to
22:16add source as we have before. We're
22:18going to go to image.
22:21And we are going to add new image.
22:25All right, I'm going to do uh my
22:27socials. So we'll add that.
22:30We're going to hit okay.
22:32Again, it's going to be one size. Let's
22:34make sure that we lock what we have in
22:36place. We don't want anything moving.
22:38Again, we're going to hit these
22:43locks.
22:50And we want this to live Let's just
22:55Let's turn it. Let's turn the image.
23:00See the hand pop up.
23:03And let's put this right here on the
23:05concrete. So it's a little bit out of
23:07view. And there we go. So now we have
23:09socials on the floor.
23:10All right, so that's what it looks like
23:12just kind of adding different things to
23:13your floor projection.
23:15Um couple quick notes guys, you just got
23:17to remember
23:19um when you're hanging this floor or
23:20when you're hanging this projector, as
23:23you can see at the bottom of this
23:24canvas, I want as a right-handed golfer,
23:28I want
23:30the bottom of the canvas to be
23:32at the
23:33you know, the very edge of my hitting
23:35strip or wherever I'm going to hit and
23:37that way everything forward or in front
23:39of me, I have all this canvas to work
23:42with. Uh so anything in this black
23:44canvas right here, this 19 by 20 will be
23:47shown by the projector of some sort. So
23:49I want to be able to have it the hitting
23:51and the putting at the lower end.
23:53That way I have everything on top. Um
23:56you know, I have plenty of area to to
23:58add stuff, whether it's logos and the
24:00whatnot.
24:01All right guys, that's how you do floor
24:03projection um from the start to finish,
24:06what you need, projector, OBS, HDMI
24:09cable or display with an active adapter
24:11to HDMI.
24:13Um
24:14how to add scenes and sources, where to
24:16grab imagery from and how to create uh
24:19this really awesome kind of wow factor
24:21with with floor projection in your sim
24:23guys. I hope you appreciate the video.
24:25Please give it some hype. Give it a
24:27thumbs up. Give it a like. Give it a
24:29subscribe.
24:30On the next one, I am going to show you
24:32how to add
24:35um
24:37sources and be able to automatically
24:39toggle them on and off. So when a ball
24:41rolls in rolls into your hitting area,
24:44we can make things disappear. Once you
24:46hit it, we can bring them back. That's
24:48going to be advanced and that's going to
24:50be on the next one.
