Is it a moving image?

Ok. Let's not play a thousand questions. Pleas describe your idea with details like size, shape, is the image coming out onto something else and if so what and how far. or is it on the surface of the box. The we can give you some thoughts.

It would go inside a box, approx 30" x 30" x 30". I would like to project onto a piece of textured white paper or white cloth. I don't have the all the details determined yet; this is just a germ of an idea at this point.

If there is a tiny projector that can focus within 3' or so, with a very small image, I might buy it and then experiment.

Take a look at this. It has a built in focusable projector and all you need to do is put in a card with media. I have a bigger version and the projector works pretty cool. It doesn't have a lot of light output but with your short throw it might be perfect. However, you might need to experiment with some additional lensing to get the image to the right size. You can also use neutral density gels/filters to reduce the light on such a compact area. Definitely doable.

Here's my NXcam projector. Should be the same from everything I looked at. First pic is 9" from wall with a 4 1/2" wide image. Second pic is 25" from wall with a 12" wide image. You can't zoom the projected image. Distance dictates size. I played around with a couple of crappy magnifying lenses and with the right combo and decent quality lens you could throw a little image a lot further. It was upside down but you can always feed it an upside down image and it will project right side up.

Super helpful, thanks!!

Seems like the projected image quality isn't too bad?
