Good news everyone, we now officially have all the parts we need to fabricate our surface! Today I picked up the EndLighten acrylic, which is in fantastic condition, as well as the BenQ projector. I thought the acrylic was in 4:3 format, but getting to look at it today it looks like it may be 16:9...which our projector can do. Also cool to note is the acrylic's edges have come polished, which may sound like a stupid thing to mention, but this was cut from a larger piece of acrylic and the seller was kind enough to have the leftover pieces polished up, which we would have had to pay to get done right.
As for the projector the make and model are listed in the previous post. I hooked it up today and tested it out and am happy to say that the picture quality is crisp and bright and the throw distance is amazing. Its also very compact and quiet, which are real bonuses.
If I can find the time over fall break I will try to get the surface built (i.e., enclosing the LEDs and acrylic within a metal frame) so we can have that ready to drop into a table later on. If that sounds a little confusing here is a graphic that may help:
