Abstract

Nowadays mobile phones are used for a wide range of applications in peoples every day life. Customizable with a variety of applications these mobile phones are becoming the swiss army knife of the generation. With the increase in processing power and memory the only bottleneck left is the small display size and resolution. To keep these devices mobile the size of the screen is restricted and even though the resolution of such displays is increasing, there is a limit to information presentable on the display. One way to overcome these drawbacks is the integration of a projection unit into the mobile phone. Modern projectors have been miniaturized to the size of mobile phones and can be operated using batteries. These projectors are called pico projectors. The next step is to integrate such a projector directly into a mobile phone. These devices are also called projector phones. Up to now several different prototypes both from research and industry exist. First commercial projector phones are available on the mass market [1]. Such phones have the capabilities to overcome the problems that arise when exploring large-scale information on the small display of a present-day mobile phone. With these devices one can explore information like maps or web pages without the need for zooming or panning [2] but up to now the available devices are only projecting a mirror image of the devices display or images and videos. Considering the anticipated widespread availability of phones with integrated cameras and projectors in the future, comparably little research has been conducted so far to investigate the potential of such a mobile unit.
