Abstract
Described herein are technologies related to a wearable projector to project images, information, multimedia, etc. in a portable display. More particularly, the wearable projector includes a system on chip (SOC) microprocessor that is configured to project the images, information, multimedia, etc. to different types of portable display such as, flexible transparent plastic, glass, paper, and the like.
Claims23
A wearable projector device comprising:
- a transceiver component that is configured to receive signals;
- an image sensor that is configured to detect a display size of a portable display;
- a beam projector that is configured to transmit light within the detected size of the portable display to create an image of the received signal;
- and
- a server component configured to control the transmission of light based upon the detected size of the portable display, wherein the server component dynamically adjusts operation of the wearable projector device based upon interruption of the transmitted light at the portable display.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a wireless device;
- a portable display;
- and
- a wearable projector configured to establish wireless communication with the wireless device, the wearable projector comprising:
- a transceiver component that is configured to receive multimedia signal from the wireless device;
- an image sensor that is configured to detect a display size of the portable display;
- a beam projector that is configured to transmit light within the detected size of the portable display to create an image of the received multimedia signal;
- anad
- a server component configured as system on chip (SOC) microprocessor to control operations of the wearable projector based upon interruption of transmitted light at the portable display or based upon the detected size of the portable display.
6 more elements
A method of implementing a wireless wearable projector, the method comprising:
- receiving a signal;
- detecting a display size of a portable display;
- transmitting light within an area defined by the detected size of the portable display, the transmitted light is configured to create an image of the received signal;
- detecting an interruption in the transmitted light;
- and
- performing a configured operation based upon the detected interruption, wherein the interruption includes changes in infra-red signal reflections due to physical pointing of a human hand or finger within the detected display size of the portable display.
