Abstract
Systems and methods for displaying projected image onto a surface to create an active augmented reality environment may include a lighting device and a controller. The controller may receive information, such as a user input or sensor information, and determine one or more projection properties for the lighting device. The lighting device may receive a control signal from the controller and adjust one or more parameters in order to project the image onto the surface in accordance with a desired user input and the sensor information.
Claims20
A system for projecting an image onto a surface, comprising:
- a projector module, the projector module having a matrix of lighting devices, wherein the projector module comprises at least a microLED matrix;
- one or more sensors, the one or more sensors to obtain at least one or more image parameters associated with the image;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory having instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
- receive one or more image parameters from the one or more sensors;
- determine one or more image projection properties based, at least in part, on the one or more image parameters, the one or more image projection properties adjusting features of the projector module to display the image according to a selected output format;
- and
- cause the image to be projected, by the projector module, in accordance with the one or more image projection properties.
A method for projecting an image onto a surface, comprising:
- receiving a user input associated with an output message of the image;
- receiving sensor information associated with at least a relative position of a projector module and the surface;
- determining, based at least in part on the sensor information and the output message, one or more projection properties;
- and
- illumining one or more lighting devices in a pattern to display the image.
A system for projecting an image onto a surface, comprising:
- a projector module, the projector module having a matrix of lighting devices;
- one or more sensors, the one or more sensors to obtain at least one or more image parameters associated with the image;
- a global navigation satellite system receiver and mapping data, wherein the global navigation satellite system receiver and mapping data determine the one or more image parameters;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory having instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
- receive one or more image parameters from the one or more sensors;
- determine one or more image projection properties based, at least in part, on the one or more image parameters, the one or more image projection properties adjusting features of the projector module to display the image according to a selected output format;
- and
- cause the image to be projected, by the projector module, in accordance with the one or more image projection properties.
