  • Patent number: 11466812
    Abstract: Universally adjusting Ultra Short Throw (UST) projector credenza having a sliding UST compartment allowing for the cabinet to lie flush or near flush with a forward wall. The UST compartment expands out to a predetermined position to accommodate projecting images onto 100+ inch screens above. Each UST compartment comes with a cross-drilled and ventilated floating shelf that can be adjusted in three dimensions withing the compartment to allow adjustments. Ventilation holes in the shelf aerate the projector without obstructing ventilation. The UST compartment may have a low iron pane of glass over the projector to make it more discrete and hidden, but does not obstruct the image or color of the projected image passing through it in any way.

  • Patent number: 11451708
    Abstract: A processor calibrates the camera by presenting an input image on the display to obtain a presented image. The camera, arbitrarily positioned relative to the display, records the presented image. The processor obtains the input image via a channel different from the display. The processor obtains an indication of a display region associated with the display. The processor determines an input image region corresponding to the display region, and a recorded image region corresponding to the display region. The processor obtains a first pixel value associated with the input image region and a second pixel value associated with the recorded image region. The processor determines a mapping between the first pixel value and the second pixel value, where applying the mapping to the second pixel value substantially produces the first pixel value. The processor stores an identifier associated with the recorded image region and the mapping.
