Hi Klemen

The distortion of the shape of the image on the wall is often referred
to as parallax by the folks that work with projectors and cameras and
images.

In EMC2 and machine tool terms we would think of it as a non-trivial
kinematic and you are into the very recent post by Jeff.  The X, Y, and
Z axes of your "machine" are not square to each other.  In fact there is
interaction between them depending upon where the spot (tool) is and the
angle of the tool to the projection plane.  

If the laser were moving about in X and Y so that it's projection angle
was fixed you would remove one of the two sources of parallax.  The
other source of parallax is the angle between the XY plane of the laser
motion and the XY plane of the screen or wall that the laser light is
hitting. 

Fascinating problem to think about but I have no instant, easy solution
that can be plugged into HAL.
