Abstract
A system includes a translucent display positioned such that a first face is a display face and that a second face is a projection face and at least one projector configured to project an image on the second face of the translucent display. The image is displayed on the first face. The system also includes at least one sensor configured to transmit a signal when triggered and a projector controller in communication with the at least one projector and the at least one sensor. The projector controller is programmed to receive a signal from the at least one sensor and instruct the at least one projector to project at least one image on the translucent display in response to the signal from the at least one sensor.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a translucent display positioned such that a first face is a display face and that a second face is a projection face, wherein the translucent display is a solid, rigid material;
- a projector;
- at least one sensor configured to transmit a signal;
- and
- a projector controller in communication with the projector and the at least one sensor, wherein the projector controller is programmed to:
- receive a signal from the at least one sensor;
- and
- instruct the projector to project at least one image on the translucent display in response to the signal from the at least one sensor, wherein the at least one image is projected on the second face in reverse such that to a viewer of the image on the first face the image is displayed in proper orientation on the first face.
A method for operating a projector system, where the method is implemented by a computing device comprising a processor in communication with at least one memory device, the method comprising:
- receiving a signal from a sensor;
- determining a translucent display and a corresponding projector, wherein the translucent display is a solid, rigid material;
- and
- in response to the signal from the sensor, transmitting instructions to a projector controller for controlling the corresponding projector to project at least one image onto a projection face of the translucent display in reverse such that to a viewer of the at least one image on the projection face the image is displayed in proper orientation on a display face on an opposite side of the translucent display from the projection face of the translucent display.
