Fluid Beam - A Steerable Projector and Camera Unit
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an approach of using a steerable projector and camera unit in order to augment instrumented environments with projected virtual objects. The environment appears to be covered with a kind of invisible virtual layer on which images, texts, videos, computer desktops and other virtual objects can be placed. By steering the projector beam on particular surfaces the objects placed on them are made visible as if the projector were a virtual torch light.

Applications of Steerable Projector-Camera Systems
How can interactive computer interfaces be created anywhere in a space without wiring or modifying objects or people? We propose using steerable projector-camera systems employing computer vision to realize such “steerable interfaces.” In this paper, we illustrate the potential of the new kinds of applications enabled by steerable interfaces and discuss the challenges imposed on computer vision...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a Widget Set for Steerable Projector-Camera Units
We describe the design and implementation of graphical interaction widgets for use with a steerable projectorcamera unit. The design of our widgets is adapted to provide the right visual cues when projected and they are controlled by the user’s hand. The widgets’ input regions are arranged in an ergonomic way and they use a simple but robust computer vision technique for interaction. The widget...
متن کاملFoveal Displays: on Integrating Multi-resolution Input and Output Devices
Previous research on human visual perception system had conducted studies on the spatial variation in human visual resolution. Their studies had shown that only the fovea region of human eyes can afford sharp vision with acute visual details. In this paper, we propose an interactive multi-resolution monitor system composed of a multi-resolution input channel and output display. The multi-resolu...
متن کاملSearchLight - A Lightweight Search Function for Pervasive Environments
We present a lightweight search function for physical objects in instrumented environments. Objects are tagged with optical markers which are scanned by a steerable camera and projector unit on the ceiling. The same projector can then highlight the objects when given the corresponding marker ID. The process is very robust regarding calibration, and no 3D model of the environment is needed. We d...
متن کاملProjecting Rectified Images in an Augmented Environment
Steerable video projection systems make it possible to use any convenient surface as a display. This paper describes a steerable projection system in which a projector and camera are mounted in an overhead motorized assembly with two degrees of freedom. Associating a remote camera to the video projector makes it possible to discover planar surfaces in the environment that can be used as display...
