  • Patent number: 9052749
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for navigating a projected image. The method includes projecting, by a projector, an image on a surface, the projected image comprising a first portion of a virtual image. The method also includes determining a movement of the projector, and in response to the movement of the projector, changing the projected image by projecting a second portion of the virtual image different from the first portion.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130038215
    Abstract: A utility light is provided. The utility light comprises a first array of light sources having a first color facing in a first direction, a second array of light sources having a second color facing in a second direction that substantially opposes the first direction, a motion sensor, and an electronic controller to receive a rotation motion input from the motion sensor, wherein the rotation motion input provides an indication of rotation of the utility light about an axis substantially vertical to the surface of the earth, to determine a first state based on the rotation motion input, to operate the first array of light sources in the first state, to determine a second state based on the rotation motion input, and to operate the second array of light sources in the second state.
