Computer technology is increasingly migrating from traditional
desktops to novel forms of ubiquitous displays on tabletops and walls of
our environments. This process is mainly driven by the inherent
limitations of classical computer and home entertainment screens, which
are generally restricted in configuration and interaction possibilities.
Due to these limitations, users are required to adapt to given setups,
instead of the display systems continuously accommodating the users’
needs.
Based on this observation, we have developed techniques for a fully
interactive, projector-equipped visual workspace which provides flexible
global control of the projected light at any location of the
environment. In an intuitive way and with a maximum degree of
flexibility, on-demand displays can be instantiated on any surface
within this space. Subsequently, by scanning the environment, the
displays can dynamically adapt to objects and persons in a smart way.
Technology
We provide a complete set of patented core technologies, algorithms
and prototype implementations to achieve flexible on-demand displays in
everyday environments. Either the entire architecture or selected
technologies/implementations can be licensed.
