Method of projecting virtual reality imagery for augmenting real world objects and surfaces
A method of augmenting real world objects and surfaces with projected virtual imagery. A camera interfaced with a projector, captures an image of the object or the surface in real time and a software application generates the three-dimensional positional location of the object or surface with respect to the camera. This information is transmitted to the projector together with selected virtual imagery. The camera and projector are positioned for synchronized movement for aiming the projected virtual imagery on the real world object or surface.
