Abstract
A system and method for presenting and capturing images on a presentation board are described. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention provide a projector adapted to display one or more images onto a surface and a camera adapted to capture the one or more images from the surface. Also provided is an interface electronics coupled to the projector and to the camera. The interface electronics is adapted to feed the projector with the one or more images and adapted to process the one or more images from the camera. Also a user can control the presentation system by modifying the one or more images on the surface.
Claims39
An image capture and display (ICD) device comprising:
- a projector adapted to display at least one first image onto a surface;
- a camera adapted to capture at least one second image from the surface, wherein the at least one second image comprises the at least one first image and markings made directly on the surface;
- and
- interface and control electronics coupled to the projector and to the camera, wherein the interface electronics are adapted to provide the projector with the at least one first image and adapted to process the at least one second image from the camera.
A method for capturing and displaying images on a presentation board, the method comprising:
- (a) displaying at least one first image onto a surface of the presentation board utilizing a projector;
- (b) capturing the at least one second image from the surface utilizing a camera, wherein the at least one second image comprises the at least one first image and markings made directly on the surface;
- (c) providing the at least one first image on the surface utilizing the interface and control electronics, the interface and control electronics being coupled to the camera and the projector;
- and
- (d) processing the at least one second image by the interface and control electronics.
An image capture and display (ICD) system comprising:
- a surface;
- an ICD device comprising:
- a projector adapted to display at least one first image onto a surface;
- a camera adapted to capture the at least one second image from the surface, wherein the at least one second image comprises the at least one first image and markings made directly on the surface;
- and
- interface and control electronics coupled to the projector and to the camera, wherein the interface and control electronics are adapted to provide the projector with the at least one first image and adapted to process the at least one second image from the camera, wherein the at least one image from the camera comprises markings made directly on the surface;
- and
- a computer system for communicating with the ICD device to provide the at least one first image on the surface.
An image capture and display (ICD) device comprising:
- a projector adapted to display at least one first image onto a whiteboard;
- a camera adapted to capture at least one second image from the whiteboard, wherein the at least one second image comprises the at least one first image and markings made by a marker on the whiteboard;
- and
- interface and control electronics coupled to the projector and to the camera, wherein the interface electronics are adapted to provide the projector with the at least one first image and adapted to process the at least one second image from the camera.
