چکیده

Wearable projectors have been extensively studied with a focus on miniaturization. However, stabilization of the projected images is critical, for otherwise the information cannot be read when the user walks or runs. This paper introduces two methods of stabilization for images projected on the user’s hand: optical stabilization and gyroscopic stabilization. We conducted an experiment to quantitatively evaluate the stability achieved using both methods. The results show that both achieve sufficient stabilization while the user is walking. However, gyroscopic stabilization is more effective against large-impulse vibrations caused by footfalls. Finally, we propose an algorithm that switches between these two methods depending on the degree of vibration as measured by an accelerometer.

Smart Laser Projector

The Smart Laser Projector (SLP) is a laser-based projector that displays images while, at the same time, functioning as a LIDAR probe that gathers information about the projection surface: shape, position, orientation, texture, and spectral reflectance. This approach has several important advantages for implementing spatially augmented reality. For example, it does not require projector-camera ...
