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."

  1. curved surfaces? by deathazre · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The problem with projecting an image onto a non-flat surface is you can only get it to look proper from one small area. Anywhere else and it's still distorted.

  2. Not quite curved on a cricket ground.... by burnttoy · · Score: 5, Interesting

    At most cricket grounds over here (esp. for internationals like the current Windies tour) sponsor's logos are printed on the pitch (painted on the grass). BUT. The best camera angles for cricket are from a high up camera inthe stands. So the sponsors have to predistort their logos so that it looks good in a long, panoramic, high shot.

    I thought that it was quite clever when I first saw it.
