Abstract
An example system includes a camera to capture an image of an object on a surface, and a projector unit, communicatively coupled to the camera, to project the image of the object on the surface. The camera simultaneously generates a first trigger to the projector unit to switch display modes and a second trigger to a lighting source to disable light being projected onto the surface in response to an instruction to initiate capture of the image of the object.
Claims15
A system, comprising:
- a camera to capture an image of an object on a surface:
- and
- a projector unit, communicatively coupled to the camera, to project the image of the object on the surface;
- wherein the camera simultaneously generates a first trigger to the projector unit to switch display modes and a second trigger to a lighting source to disable light being projected onto the surface in response to an instruction to initiate capture of the image of the object.
A processor-implemented method for managing a capture of an image of an object, comprising:
- sending a message to a camera to initiate the capture of the image of the object, wherein in response to the message, the camera simultaneously provides a trigger to switch display mode of a projector, and another trigger to disable a lighting source;
- receiving the image of the object;
- and
- instructing to switch back the display mode of the projector, and to enable the lighting source.
A system, comprising:
- a projector unit attachable to project an image of an object on a touch sensitive mat;
- a computing device attachable to he projector unit;
- the touch sensitive mat communicatively coupled to the computing device;
- and
- a camera, communicatively coupled to the computing device, to capture the image of the object on the touch sensitive mat, wherein the camera simultaneously generates a trigger to the projector unit to switch display modes and to disable light being projected onto the touch sensitive mat in response to an instruction to capture the image of the object.
