  • Sharing projector-camera workspaces
    Patent number: 10491867
    Abstract: A method includes using a first projector-camera system to project a first video onto a first surface and to capture a second video of the first surface while the first video is projected onto the first surface. Communication is established between the first projector-camera system and a second projector-camera system, such that the second video is transmitted to the second projector-camera system and such that video of a second surface of the second projector-camera system is received by the first projector-camera system and forms part of the first video. Light is applied to the first surface sufficient to cancel video echo between the first projector-camera system and the second projector-camera system.
