Optical steering of component wavelengths of a multi-wavelength beam to enable interactivity

An information handling system, comprising:

• a plurality of laser light sources configured to generate a plurality of component wavelength beams;
• a scanning system configured to combine the plurality of component wavelength beams into a combined multi-component beam and scan the combined multi-component beam into a scan pattern;
• and
• a steering system to steer a second subset of the plurality of the component wavelength beams from the combined multi-component beam into a second field of view while a first subset of the plurality of component wavelength beams is directed from the combined multi-component beam into a first field of view, wherein the steering system steers the second subset of the plurality of component wavelength beams based on wavelength such that first subset of the plurality of component wavelength beams has a different wavelength distribution than the second subset of the plurality of component wavelength beams;
• wherein the first subset of the plurality of component wavelength beams is projected in the first field of view to provide a visible image in the first field of view, and the second subset of the plurality of component wavelength beams is projected in the second field of view to generate a depth map of the second field of view to receive an input from a user in the second field of view.

A method to optically steer component wavelengths of a multi-wavelength beam, comprising:

• generating a plurality of component wavelength beams;
• combining the plurality of component wavelength beams into a multi-wavelength beam;
• projecting the multi-wavelength beam in a scan pattern;
• filtering the projected multi-wavelength beam based on wavelength to create a filtered group of one or more wavelengths and a non-filtered group of the one or more wavelengths, wherein the non-filtered group of the one or more wavelengths has at least one component wavelength different than the filtered group of the one or more wavelengths, wherein the non-filtered group of one or more wavelengths from the multi-wavelength beam are transmitted in a first direction to a first viewport to provide a first function;
• and
• redirecting the filtered group in a second direction to a second viewport;
• and
• receiving a reflected beam from the second viewport as an input signal to provide a second function.
