Abstract: An array of piezoelectric ceramic sensors affixed to a flexible plastic membrane forms a target surface and the signals produced by the sensors are processed to produce an output signal which indicates the location where a liquid stream strikes the target. The sensor array is used to detect the presence and location of a liquid stream from a pressurized nozzle used to play an interactive game. The stream presence and position signals are fed in real time to a (personal) computer which produces an output display indicating where the target was struck by the stream. The stream detection array may be used in a variety of applications.

Abstract: A system determines correspondence between locations on a display surface and pixels in an output image of a projector. The display surface can have an arbitrary shape and pose. Locations of known coordinates are identified on the display surface. Each location is optically coupled to a photo sensor by an optical fiber installed in a throughhole in the surface. Known calibration patterns are projected, while sensing directly an intensity of light at each location for each calibration pattern. The intensities are used to determine correspondences between the locations and pixels in an output image of the projector so that projected images can be warped to conform to the display surface.
