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 computer-implemented method for configuring a spatially-aware projector to output a projected image, the method comprising:
- receiving a first position of the spatially-aware projector in a display surface from a first position tracking mechanism included within the spatially-aware projector;
- retrieving design data from a memory based on the first position;
- and
- generating a projected image based on the design data for display on the display surface.
A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a spatially-aware projector to output a projected image, the method comprising:
- receiving a first position of the spatially-aware projector in a display surface from a first position tracking mechanism included within the spatially-aware projector;
- retrieving design data from a memory based on the first position;
- and
- generating a projected image based on the design data for display on the display surface.
