Abstract
Methods and apparatus relating to a mechanical system on computer with rotational projector and RealSense™ camera are described. In an embodiment, a device includes three portions: a first portion to comprise a projector; a second portion to comprise a camera; and a third portion to comprise one or more computing system components. At least the first and second portions are rotationally engaged to allow for independent rotation of the first portion and the second portion. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
Claims22
An apparatus comprising:
- a first portion to comprise a projector;
- a second portion to comprise a camera;
- and
- a third portion to comprise one or more computing system components,
- wherein at least the first portion and the second portion are to be rotationally engaged to allow for independent rotation of the first portion and the second portion.
A method comprising:
- capturing images, at a camera, of a surrounding area;
- determining a projection surface based at least in part on the captured images;
- causing adjustment to a location of a projector to cause projection of an image by the projector towards the determined projection surface,
- wherein a device with a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion is to comprise the projector in the first portion, the camera in the second portion, and one or more computing system components in the third portion, wherein at least the first portion and the second portion are to be rotationally engaged to allow for independent rotation of the first portion and the second portion.
One or more computer-readable medium comprising one or more instructions that when executed on at least one a processor configure the at least one processor to perform one or more operations to:
- capture images, at a camera, of a surrounding area;
- determine a projection surface based at least in part on the captured images;
- cause adjustment to a location of a projector to cause projection of an image by the projector towards the determined projection surface,
- wherein a device with a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion is to comprise the projector in the first portion, the camera in the second portion, and one or more computing system components in the third portion, wherein at least the first portion and the second portion are to be rotationally engaged to allow for independent rotation of the first portion and the second portion.
