Abstract
A projection capture system includes a camera to capture video of objects in a capture space, and a light emitting diode (LED) projector to illuminate the objects in the capture space and to project images captured by the camera into a display space. The projector includes a sequential display mode for sequentially displaying red, green, and blue light to project images captured by the camera into the display space, and a camera flash mode for simultaneously displaying red, green, and blue light to provide white light for illuminating the objects in the capture space during video capture.
Claims15
A projection capture system, comprising;
- a camera to capture video of objects in a capture space;
- and
- a light emitting diode (LED) projector to illuminate the objects in the capture space and to project images captured by the camera into a display space, wherein the projector includes a sequential display mode for sequentially displaying red, green, and blue LED light to project images captured by the camera into the display space, and a camera flash mode for simultaneously displaying red, green, and blue LED light to provide white light for illuminating the objects in the capture space during video capture.
A method for capturing and projecting images, comprising:
- illuminating objects in a capture space with a light emitting diode (LED) projector operating in a first mode for simultaneously displaying red, green, and blue LED light to provide white light for illuminating the objects in the capture space;
- capturing video of the objects in the capture space while the projector is in the first mode;
- and
- causing the projector to switch to a second mode to sequentially display red, green, and blue LED light to project the captured video into a display space.
A computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to perform a method, comprising:
- causing a light emitting diode (LED) projector to enter a camera flash mode to illuminate objects in a capture space by simultaneously displaying red, green, and blue LED light to provide white light;
- causing a camera to capture video of the objects in the capture space while the projector is in the camera flash mode;
- and
- causing the projector to switch to a sequential display mode to sequentially display red, green, and blue LED light to project the captured video into a display space.
