Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for providing an end user with a spatially-aware projector combined with a spatially-aware digital pen for use in a design environment. Paper documents are augmented to allow a user to access additional information and computational tools through projected interfaces. Virtual ink may be managed in single and multi-user environments to enhance collaboration and data management. The spatially-aware projector pen provides end-users with dynamic visual feedback and improved interaction capabilities.
Claims20
A spatially-aware projector system, comprising:
- a first position tracking mechanism configured to provide position data related to a current position of the spatially-aware projector within a display surface;
- and
- a projection unit configured to display a projected image generated from design data retrieved from memory based on the position data.
