Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and techniques to adapt an image to a gaze vector of a user or project content based on a distance between an appendage of a user and a at least a portion of a projected image. The system can include a projector to project an image and a camera to capture an image. The system can determine a gaze vector of a user and adapt the projected image based on the gaze vector. Additionally, the system can determine a distance between an appendage of the user and the projected image and project content based on the distance.
Claims25
A projection system, comprising:
- a projector to project an image onto a surface;
- a camera to capture an image of an environment adjacent to the surface;
- logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to:
- identify a user from the image;
- determine a gaze vector corresponding to the user;
- adjust at least one parameter of the image based on the gaze vector to distort the image;
- send a control signal to the projector to include an indication to project the adjusted image onto the surface such that the distorted image appears undistorted from the perspective of the gaze vector.
A method comprising:
- capturing an image of a scene, the scene comprising an area adjacent to a projection surface;
- identifying a user from the image;
- determining a gaze vector corresponding to the user;
- adjusting at least one parameter of an image to be projected onto the projection surface based on the gaze vector to distort the image;
- and
- sending a control signal to a projector to include an indication to project the adjusted image onto the projection surface such that the distorted image appears undistorted from the perspective of the gaze vector.
At least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- capture an image of a scene, the scene comprising an area adjacent to a projection surface;
- identify a user from the image;
- determine a gaze vector corresponding to the user;
- adjust at least one parameter of an image to be projected onto the projection surface based on the gaze vector to distort the image;
- and
- send a control signal to a projector to include an indication to project the adjusted image onto the projection surface such that the distorted image appears undistorted from the perspective of the gaze vector.
