The wings will hold the speakers and controls. I tore the sound bar apart and removed the Amp, speakers, sound dampening material and wiring since this would be a self contained R2 Unit and these parts would be relocated to the wings.
The Right Wing:
Has a speaker, externally accessed USB port and a Motion Detector that will be used to start the presentation when someone walks up to the machines.

To save development time I used the R2-D2 Holoprojector 3D model by jonnieZG . I scaled it to fit, trimmed the bottom 4mm and added two mounting screw holes, and then changed the diameter of the center hole to fit the motion detector lens.
I didn't want to spend 3 hours printing the whole model only to have it be the wrong size so I test printed the first 2mm of the model to make sure I had sized it correctly and that it did fit the motion detector lens.
When I looked at the test print I had one of those Star Wars moments and knew I was on the right track.
The Motion Detector will be mounted in a R2-D2 style Holoprojector that can be adjusted to different angles depending on the areas needs.
Look, sir. Droids.
I put together a test rig and set it on the top of the machines to test the sensitivity of the detector. It works great, the holoprojector housing restricts the detection field very well.
Right Wing: Print time 13.6 Hours
