Towards a mobile Everywhere Display based on a depth-camera projector unit
In this paper we discuss the possibility to recreate the classic work of
Pinhanez on the Everywhere Display for a mobile setting. While embedded
pico-projectors are becoming more and more popular in mobile devices
such as Video cameras or mobile phones, they still lag convincing
application scenarios. To investigate the possibilities of such devices
we created a hand-held prototype for a future mobile device. It is
semi-mobile and consists of a depth camera that is mounted on top of a
mobile projector. Based on this prototype we discuss how such devices
will be able to create ubiquitous personal displays on every suited real
world surface in the future.
