An imaging device and method of projecting an image is provided, the imaging device including a beam source; at least one beam director including at least one encoded image including a horizontal component and a vertical component relative to an orientation of the imaging device; where a beam produced by the beam source is incident upon a surface of the at least one beam director, and the beam is redirected by the at least one beam director onto a projection surface; and an actuator fixed to the at least one beam director such that the at least one beam director is moveable relative to the beam source such that the beam traces out the at least one encoded image on the projection surface; where the actuator is configured to repeatedly move the at least one beam director such that the at least one encoded image appears visible.
