Project Details

"An Everywhere Displays projector uses a rotating mirror to project information onto any surface in an environment. User interaction is detected by a video camera so no physical contact with any computer device is required. In this playful demonstration, an ED projector helps visitors collaboratively render an image composed of M&M [candies]." 
 
"The idea is to couple an LCD projector to a motorized rotating mirror and a computer graphics system that can correct the distortion caused by oblique projection. As the mirror moves, different surfaces become available for displays." 
 
"The goal is to develope a projection-based system that creates displays everywhere in an environment by transforming surfaces into projected 'touch screens.'"
