Patent number: 8926101Abstract: A system including a plurality of pixels disposed on a substrate forming a screen. A signal, such as an image, can be projected on the screen. The pixels of the screen include a sensor configured to sense a portion of the signal, an emitter, and circuitry. In response to information sensed in the signal, the circuitry can be configured to drive the emitter.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2010Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Palo Alto Research Center IncorporatedInventors: Rowan Nairn, Philipp Schmaelzle

Patent number: 8919966Abstract: A rotatable projection system is provided. A mounting system for the projection system includes a support back and a rotatable mounting system mounted to the support back. The rotatable mounting system includes a first frame, a second frame mounted to the first frame in a fixed angular relationship, and a rotating joint mounted to at least one of the first frame and the second frame and to the support back to provide rotation of the rotatable mounting system relative to the support back. The rotatable projection system may further include a projector mounted to the first frame and a projection board mounted to the second frame. The projector may include a mirror positioned to reflect light from the projector onto the projection board.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2009Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Speranza, Inc.Inventors: Greg Falendysz, Allen H. Frater, William H. Jones, Cheryl Anderson

Patent number: 8905551Abstract: An augmented reality system may generate an augmented reality environment by projecting images onto various surfaces within a scene. A projection accessory display device (PADD) provides known characteristics for projection, and may be configured to simplify generation and maintenance of the projected image upon the PADD. The PADD may also provide one or more input devices which accept input from a user within the augmented reality environment. The PADD may comprise non-electronic passive components, electronic active components, or a combination thereof.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2010Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Rawles LLCInventor: William Spencer Worley, III

Patent number: 8882278Abstract: A reprojection system which allows a projection to be displayed onto a display screen, and reprojected by that display screen. The display is received on the surface that itself displays, and it is then redisplayed on the surface. The redisplay can be at the same size or at a different size as the original projection. Preferably the redisplay is at the same relative intensity but a brighter actual intensity than the original display. The information is can be received and redisplayed in a number of different ways.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2013Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Harris Technology, LLCInventor: Scott C.
