Abstract:
A reflector for a spoked wheel includes a reflector body having a first side, a second side and a through hole, a locking body having a first end and a second headed end and an engaging means disposed between the first side and the headed end such that the first end will cooperate with the second side to securely fix therebetween a spoke of the wheel when the headed end is rotated relative to the reflector body.
Abstract:
A method of displaying a high-resolution image with a multi-projector display system. The method includes determining a luminance profile for each projector, receiving a high-resolution image frame representative of the high-resolution image, and generating for each projector a low-resolution sub-frame corresponding to the high-resolution image frame based on a geometric relationship between the projector and a reference coordinate system and on the luminance profile of the projector. The method includes simultaneously projecting each low-resolution sub-frame onto a target surface with the associated projector, wherein the projectors are configured such that the projected low-resolution sub-frames at least partially overlap on the target surface to form a projected image substantially equal to the high-resolution image.
Abstract:
A color wheel assembly for use in a projector for stereoscopic imaging. The color wheel assembly includes a first portion able to polarize light in a first orientation and a second portion able to polarize light in a second orientation. The first and second portions allow the color wheel assembly, when in an image projector, to produce separate polarized images to achieve a stereoscopic image.
Abstract:
A method performed by an image display system is provided. The method includes identifying a first arbitrary feature that is inherent in a first image frame and suitable for use as a first fiducial mark when the first image frame is displayed on a display surface by a display device and updating correspondence information between the display device and an image capture device using the first arbitrary feature in the first image frame and an image that is captured to include the first arbitrary feature on the display surface.
Abstract:
A method comprising generating a first image data subset using image data and first noise and generating a second image data subset using the image data and second noise is provided. The first and the second image data subsets are generated to cause the first noise and the second noise to cancel in response to first and second images being simultaneously displayed in at least partially overlapping positions using the first and second image data subsets, respectively.
Abstract:
A method comprising analyzing a portion of image data to identify a characteristic of the portion of the image data and determining an algorithm based on the characteristic is provided. The algorithm is configured to generate at least first and second image data subsets with distortion using the image data such that the first and the second image data subsets are configured to cause an image corresponding to the image data to be reproduced without the distortion in response to being simultaneously displayed with first and second projection devices, respectively.
Abstract:
A method and system for interfacing a digital device with an interactive display surface (IDS) is presented. The IDS detects the digital device when it is brought into proximity, and attempts to identify the device. The IDS communicates with the device, and displays interactive representations of information stored on the device.
Abstract:
A method of displaying an image with a display system is provided. The method comprises generating first and second sub-frames using first and second subsets of image data based on a relationship between a first projection device and a second projection device, wherein the first and the second subsets of image data individually include insufficient information to provide a high quality reproduction of the image; and projecting the first and the second sub-frames onto a display surface using the first and the second projection devices, respectively, such that the first and the second sub-frames at least partially overlap on the display surface to provide the high quality reproduction of the image.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a first sequence of patterns of light symbols that spatio-temporally encode two-dimensional position information in a first projection plane is projected onto a scene. A second sequence of patterns of light symbols that spatio-temporally encode two-dimensional position information in a second projection plane is projected onto the scene. Light patterns corresponding to the first and second sequences of patterns of light symbols reflected from the scene are captured at a capture plane. Captured light symbol sequence codes are determined from the captured light patterns. A correspondence mapping of the first projector plane and the second projector plane with respect to a reference coordinate system is generated based at least in part on correspondence between the captured light symbol sequence codes and the first and second sequences of light symbol patterns.
Abstract:
An exemplary method for constraining a user's movement in a virtual environment includes determining a user's current location in the virtual environment, determining a permitted zone based on the current location, dividing areas outside the permitted zone into multiple zones, obtaining an input to move to a new location, calculating a point within the permitted zone proximate to the new location based on one or more of the multiple zones, and moving the user to the proximate point.
