Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system and method for displaying an image wherein the apparatus includes an image transducer for capturing image data from an incoherent wireless electromagnetic transmission, which transmission may be in the form of visible light, a memory for storing captured image data, and a projection system for projecting an image derived from stored captured image data onto a viewing surface separate from the apparatus and disposed so as to reflect the projected derived visible image. The transducer, memory, and projector are preferably confined within a single portable enclosure.
Claims27
Apparatus for displaying an image, the apparatus comprising:
- an image transducer for capturing image data received via an incoherent wireless electromagnetic transmission;
- a memory for storing said captured image data;
- and
- a projection system for projecting a visible image derived from said stored captured image data onto a viewing surface separate from said apparatus and disposed so as to reflect said projected derived visible image, wherein said transducer, said memory, and said projector are confined within a single portable enclosure.
A method for displaying a captured image, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving an image within an image capture device;
- transducing said received image into image data;
- and
- projecting transduced ones of said images, out of said image capture device onto a viewing surface.
An image processing device for acquiring and displaying images, the device comprising:
- means for converting images received through a lens attached to said device into image data;
- and
- means for projecting selected ones of said image data out of said image processing device.
