Abstract

In this paper we present a new approach for cooperation between mobile smart objects and projector-camera systems to enable augmentation of the surface of objects with interactive projected displays. We investigate how a smart object’s capability for self description and sensing can be used in cooperation with the vision capability of projector-camera systems to help locate, track and display information onto object surfaces in an unconstrained environment. Finally, we develop a framework that can be applied to distributed projector-camera systems, cope with varying levels of description knowledge and different sensors embedded in an object.
