    摘要: An external instrument that wirelessly communicates with a projector is allowed to communicate with a communication counterpart other than the projector. A projector includes a projection section, a communication section, which wirelessly communicates with a first apparatus and communicates with a second apparatus, an evaluation section, which determines the destination of communication data received via the communication section, and a control section. In a case where the evaluation section determines that the destination of the communication data is the projector, the control section causes the projection section to project an image based on image data included in the communication data. In a case where the evaluation section determines that the destination of the communication data received from the first apparatus is not the projector, the control section causes the communication section to transmit the communication data to the second apparatus.

    摘要: A display device includes: a light source unit that outputs laser light; a light-guide optical system that forms a plurality of optical paths of the laser light; an optical path switch element that switches an optical path of the laser light to any one of the plurality of optical paths; an optical member that forms a single optical path in a subsequent stage of the plurality of optical paths; and a projection mirror that forms a projection image to be projected on a screen by scanning the laser light that passed through the single optical path. The plurality of optical paths includes an optical path for low luminance and an optical path for high luminance which make the laser light have different luminance. The optical path switch element is disposed on an optical path between the light source unit and the projection mirror.

    摘要: There is provided an image processing apparatus and method that realize corresponding point detection during content viewing while keeping cost increase to a minimum. A pattern image including a given pattern is superimposed on any one of a plurality of subframes corresponding to a frame, each subframe is sequentially projected onto a projection section, a capture section is caused to capture the projected subframe image, projected by the projection section, on which the pattern image has been superimposed in synchronism with the projection control, and corresponding points between the projected image and a captured image are detected on the basis of the pattern image included in the captured image acquired as a result of capture by the capture section, in accordance with the capture control. The present disclosure is applicable, for example, to an image processing apparatus, projection apparatus, capture apparatus, projection/capture apparatus, control apparatus, projection/capture system, and so on.

    摘要: A projector includes an illumination system that outputs illumination light containing white light, which is visible light, and infrared light, an image formation section that forms image light from the illumination light, a projection system that projects the image light on a projection surface and radiates the infrared light onto the projection surface, and a detection section that detects a pointing element based on reflected light formed of the radiated infrared light. The image formation section includes a light-exiting-side polarizer that transmits the visible light in such a way that the light-exiting-side polarizer transmits light formed of one polarization component and blocks light formed of another polarization component, and the light-exiting-side polarizer transmits the infrared light in such a way that the light-exiting-side polarizer transmits the two polarization components of the infrared light.

    摘要: An electronic device includes an illumination module, an image projection module, a camera module and at least one processor. The processor, coupled to the illumination module, the image projection module and the camera module, determines that the electronic device executes a first or second operating mode according to an operation instruction of a user. When the first operating mode is executed, the processor enables the illumination module to generate a medium color temperature light, simultaneously enables the image projection module to project a window screen onto a plane, and allows the use to operate the window screen on the plane. When the second operating mode is executed, the processor enables the illumination module to generate a high color temperature light, simultaneously enables the image projection module to project a preset pattern onto the plane, and turns on the camera module to allow the user to take photo or image.
