Patent number: 10360723Abstract: A method and apparatus for automated projection mapping previsualization is provided. A computer model of an object is received, at a controller of a device, from a publicly accessible remote mapping server, the computer model comprising a publicly available three-dimensional computer model, the computer model defining an object in geographic coordinates and elevation coordinates, the object located at given geographic coordinates. The controller generates a time dependent previsualization projection mapping model for the object using images to be projected onto the object, the computer model, and data for generating one or more of Sun behavior and the Moon behavior at the given geographic coordinates. The controller controls a display device to render a previsualization of the time dependent previsualization projection mapping model.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2017Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: CHRISTIE DIGITAL SYSTEMS USA, INC.Inventors: Shawn David Mills, Gerhard Dietrich Klassen, Ian Chadwyck Faragher

Patent number: 10009586Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium for projecting images on a marked surface. The system includes a memory storage unit, a projector, a camera, an input device for receiving input data to align correspondence points in a template image with features on a marked surface, a computing device for calculating a correction model, and a rendering device for generating image data. The method involves projecting a template image to generate a camera image, receiving input data, calculating a correction model based on the input data and generating and projecting image data. The computer readable medium is encoded with codes to direct a processor to carry out the method.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2017Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: CHRISTIE DIGITAL SYSTEMS USA, INC.Inventors: Curtis Gordon Mutter, Ian Chadwyck Faragher, Daniel Thomson Urquhart

Patent number: 8700999Abstract: Methods and systems for managing open documents are disclosed. Document representations are displayed in a carousel display. Each of the representations displays a document viewport portion of content from a corresponding open document. Upon determining a first gesture associated with a selected representation, a full view of the document viewport portion of the open document corresponding to the selected representation is displayed. The content of the open document displayed in the document viewport portion may be adjusted based upon a user action in the open document. Upon determining a second gesture, the full view of the document viewport portion is closed and the adjusted content is displayed as the document viewport portion in the carousel display. A greater portion of the open document than what is visible in the document viewport portion is displayed.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2011Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Robert Kroeger, Ian Chadwyck Faragher, Fady Samuel, Cosmin Truta, Varun Jain

Publication number: 20130047100Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for displaying links on a touch screen are disclosed. A link area of uncertainty at a touch point of a touch screen gesture may be determined. Two or more links may be determined at the link area. A predicted link of the two or more links may be selected. An enlarged display of the predicted link may be previewed. A system for displaying links on a touch screen may include a link area determiner, a link selector and a link previewer.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2011Publication date: February 21, 2013Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Robert Kroeger, Ian Chadwyck Faragher, Fady Samuel
