Abstract: A method and apparatus for gesture interaction with an image displayed on a painted wall is described. The method may include capturing image data of the image displayed on the painted wall and a user motion performed relative to the image. The method may also include analyzing the captured image data to determine a sequence of one or more physical movements of the user relative to the image displayed on the painted wall. The method may also include determining, based on the analysis, that the user motion is indicative of a gesture associated with the image displayed on the painted wall, and controlling a connected system in response to the gesture.

Abstract: Embodiments of an apparatus, system and method for creating light projection solutions for user guidance are described herein. A user may request that projected light be used to assist in a plurality of operations involving objects in the physical space around the user. A user can use voice commands and hand gestures to request that a projector project light or images on or near objects involved in one or more operations. Embodiments of the disclosure perform an image recognition process to scan the physical space around the user and to identify any user gesture performed (e.g., a user pointing at a plurality of objects, a user holding an object); a steerable projector may be actuated to project light or image data based on the user's request and a plurality of operations associated with the objects.
