Projecting Video On Curved Surfaces

Posted by timothy on from the angle-dependent dept.

Jochen Bedersdorfer writes "According to golem.de, a research project in the area of Augmented Reality created a technology to project videos onto arbitrary existing screen surfaces, like wallpapered walls or window curtains. ... Quite awesome. Now I can use this ugly corner in my living room effectively."

    By the time Doom 6 comes out, we may all have this technology for our homes!

    Parent is insightful/informative? Come on moderators. RTFA! The product uses a light pattern to calibrate the distortions of the surface, then adjust the areas of the image to compensate for varying colors and distances from the lense. Examples of surfaces and images projected on those surfaces are provided.

    From the linked page:
    Our smart projectors combine camera feedback with structured light projection to gain information about the screen surface and the environment. The calibration of such a device is fast, fully automatic and robust, and the correction of video signals can be achieved in real-time.
