Abstract
An immersive video system includes a display, a sensor that provides information about a user's location relative to the display, a projector capable of projecting images onto the user, and a processor in communication with the display, the sensor, and the projector. The processor manipulates the images projected onto the user based on user location data from the sensor.
Claims20
An immersive video system comprising:
- a display;
- a sensor that provides information about a user's location and size, wherein the information about the user's location is used by the processor to generate a map regarding the user's location;
- a projector configured to project images onto the user using the user as a projection surface, wherein the projected images are visible to the user;
- a single processor in communication with the display, the sensor, and the projector, wherein the single processor is configured to manipulate the images projected onto the user based on the map;
- wherein the images projected onto the user are projected based on the map;
- wherein, based on the user's location, the user interacts with the images projected onto the user and the processor manipulates the image projected onto the user in response to the interaction.
3 more elements
A method for projecting images onto a user, the method comprising:
- displaying, on a display, images visible to a user
- sensing information, by a sensor, about a user's location;
- projecting, by a projector, separate from the display, images onto the user using the user as a projection surface, wherein the projected images are visible to the user;
- processing, by a single processor, the display, the sensor, and the projector information, and manipulating the images projected onto the user based on user location data;
- generating, by the processor, a map regarding the user's location based on the information from the sensor;
- wherein the images projected onto the user are projected based on the map;
- wherein, based on the user's location, the user interacts with the images projected onto the user and the processor manipulates the image projected onto the user in response to the interaction.
4 more elements
An immersive video system comprising:
- a display visible to a user;
- a sensor configured to provide location and size information about a movable object;
- a projector, separate from the display, configured to project images onto the movable object using the movable object as a projection surface;
- a single processor configured to communicate with the display, the sensor, and the projector, wherein the single processor is configured to manipulate the images projected onto the movable object based on a software engine driving the single processor;
- wherein the location information from the sensor about the movable object's location is used by the processor to generate a map regarding the movable object's location;
- wherein the images projected onto the movable object are projected based on the map;
- wherein, based on the movable object's location, the movable object interacts with the images projected onto the movable object and the processor manipulates the image projected onto the movable object in response to the interaction.
