TRIGGER ZONES FOR OBJECTS IN PROJECTED SURFACE MODEL

摘要

An integrated processing and projection device suitable for use on a supporting surface includes a processor and a projector designed to provide a display on the supporting surface proximate to the device. Various sensors enable object and gesture detection in a detection area in the display area. Trigger zones are defined in the detection area such that interaction of an object or human limb in the detection zone provides object and zone specific feedback by the integrated processing and projection device. The feedback can be provided in the projection area or may be provided as audible or active feedback to a device having active feedback capabilities.

主权项

1. An integrated processing and projection system, comprising:
a display projector in a housing, the display projector adapted to display an interface in a display area on a surface supporting the housing; an RGB camera; an infrared emitter and infrared detector, the RGB camera, emitter and detector establishing a detection area adjacent to the surface and overlapping the display area; a processor and memory in the housing, the memory including code operable to instruct the processor to establish one or more trigger zones in a corresponding one or more regions of the detection area; and responsive to interaction by a real object in the one or more trigger zones, cause object feedback to emanate from the system using one or more output elements of the integrated processing and projection system.
