Research on Anywhere Projections (for upcoming pocket projectors)

From Weimar AR research "Projecting images onto surfaces that are not optimized for projections becomes more and more popular. Such approaches will enable the presentation of graphical, image or video content on arbitrary surfaces. Virtual reality visualizations may become possible in everyday environments - without specialized screen material or static screen configurations. Upcoming pocket projectors will enable truly mobile presentations on all available surfaces of furniture or papered walls."

Shows view-point adapted content, how the recalibration works and some camera repositioning to capture the "optical flow" changes in the projected image. http://www.uni-weimar.de/medien/ar/Pub/PAGC.avi (48Mb)
