  • Patent number: 9241124
    Abstract: Various embodiments herein include systems, methods, and software for interactive video projection system content generation. Such content is content consumed by a system that projects a scene view on a surface, such as a wall, screen, or floor, and is interactive with user motion. User motion is captured as input via a camera or other imaging device and processed on a computing device to determine where in a projected scene a user is moving. The scene is then modified based on the detected motion. A user generates content for consumption in such embodiments by providing image and variable input to populate a graphical rendering template when rendered for presentation to a user.

  • Publication number: 20130162518
    Abstract: An interactive video system includes an image capturing device, for example a video camera, for capturing user motion, and a graphical display which is arranged to be altered in response to detection of user motion as captured by the image capturing device. A user interface is arranged to display a visual representation of the motion detected by the system to assist in calibrating the system in relation to a surrounding environment.
