System and method to evaluate nearby surfaces and to adapt content for projection thereon

A system comprising:

• a processing system including a processor;
• and
• a storage device adapted to store a plurality of executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate a performance of operations, the operations comprising:
• obtaining sensor data comprising an image of a projection environment;
• determining a plurality of physical objects portrayed within the image;
• evaluating a plurality of physical properties of the plurality of physical objects according to the sensor data to obtain an evaluation, wherein the plurality of physical properties includes a mobility state of at least one of the plurality of physical objects;
• selecting a first target object of the plurality of physical objects according to the evaluation, a first projection surface comprising a surface of the first target object;
• modifying a source image according to the first projection surface to obtain a first modified source image;
• and
• providing the first modified source image to a projector adapted to project the first modified source image onto the first projection surface.

A non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• obtaining sensor data comprising an image of a projection environment;
• determining a plurality of physical objects portrayed within the image;
• characterizing a plurality of physical properties of the plurality of physical objects according to the sensor data to obtain a characterization;
• identifying a first target object of the plurality of physical objects according to the characterization, a first projection surface comprising a surface of the first target object, wherein the characterization includes a mobility state of the first target object;
• modifying source content according to the first projection surface to obtain first modified source content;
• and
• providing the first modified source content to a projector adapted to project the first modified source content onto the first projection surface.
