Abstract: In a projection system, a light source unit emits a first visible light beam, a second visible light beam having a longer wavelength than the first visible light beam, and a near infrared light beam. A spatial light modulation unit subjects the first visible light beam, the second visible light beam, and the near infrared light beam, all emitted from the light source unit, to spatial light modulation to produce a first image light beam, a second image light beam, and a third image light beam, respectively. A controller makes a projection optical system not only selectively project any one of a plurality of image light beams, including the first image light beam, the second image light beam, and the third image light beam, but also selectively project any two or more of the plurality of image light beams, by controlling the spatial light modulation unit in two different manners.

Abstract: In a spinning forming method, a plate including a peripheral portion at which a ring-shaped projection is provided is used, the projection projecting in a thickness direction of the plate. Further, while rotating the plate, a transform target portion of the plate is locally heated, and a processing tool is pressed against the transform target portion to transform the plate. According to this configuration, a heat capacity of the peripheral portion of the plate can be increased. With this, when heating the vicinity of the peripheral portion of the plate, the peripheral portion can be prevented from becoming high in temperature. As a result, deformation of the peripheral portion of the plate can be suppressed.
