Embodiments of an apparatus and system are described for a hybrid computing device. Some embodiments may comprise a computing device having an enclosure arranged to support a display on a front of the enclosure, a projector adjustment ring integrated into a portion of the perimeter of the enclosure, and a projector module adjustably coupled to the projector adjustment ring. In various embodiments, the projector module may be arranged for dual-axis rotation within the projector adjustment ring. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A single camera detects user interactions with separate infrared light sources, such as structured light for three dimensional detection and an infrared curtain surface touch interactions. A touch input module monitors user interactions with a desktop surface, such as at a projected or display mat user interface presentation, and selectively illuminates the separate infrared light sources to support camera detection based upon the user interactions. For example, separate infrared light sources illumination in an interleaved manned at variable rates based upon analysis of visible light or structured light images captured by the camera.

An example system includes a camera to capture an image of an object on a surface, and a projector unit, communicatively coupled to the camera, to project the image of the object on the surface. The camera simultaneously generates a first trigger to the projector unit to switch display modes and a second trigger to a lighting source to disable light being projected onto the surface in response to an instruction to initiate capture of the image of the object.

In an illustrative embodiment, systems and methods for controlling projection of graphical elements onto surfaces of an aircraft cabin interior may include a projector mounted to a surface of a static element of an aircraft passenger suite that outputs the graphical element onto a projection surface. The graphical element may correspond to a received projection request. A controller may receive a projection request from a computing device indicating a type of graphical element for display onto the projection surface. The type of graphical element may correspond to a type of communication message such as a message between a passenger and a flight attendant within the aircraft cabin. The graphical element may generated for display by the projector based on at least one of the type of graphical element associated with the received projection request and a native language of the passenger or flight attendant.

The present invention discloses an article of jewelry, preferably a necklace with a hologram. The disclosed apparatus is provided with a hologram to display various things within the necklace and make it appear more stylish and enhancing the decorative appeal. The disclosed apparatus is capable of interacting with the multimedia devices like phone and can connect with them to display images and other things present in them via hologram in the necklace.

An information processing method applied to an electronic device having a projection assembly and a position-orientation sensor configured to detect position-orientation information of the electronic device is described. The method includes determining whether the electronic device is in a projection mode to obtain a first determination result; acquiring position-orientation information of the electronic device as detected by the position-orientation sensor when the first determination result indicates that the electronic device is in a projection mode; generating an adjustment line based on the position-orientation information; acquiring a preset reference line; and displaying the adjustment line and the reference line in a projected screen, to assist a user in adjusting the adjustment line to coincide with the reference line.

A scanning projector includes a programmable voltage source to provide a programmable voltage to a laser light source. A look-ahead circuit determines future voltage requirements by finding peaks in future pixel data. The programmable voltage may change for each frame of video, for each line of video, or multiple times within each line of video.

A device includes a housing having a top, a bottom opposite the top, a front, and a back opposite the front. One or more microphones are oriented substantially towards the top. A first camera, a display, a loudspeaker, and an emitter are oriented substantially towards the front. A second camera, a projector, and a sensor are oriented substantially towards the bottom. The second camera and the sensor may include field of views that at least partially overlap with a projection area of the projector.

A projection display unit and a function control method. The projection display unit includes: a projection optical system including an illumination section, a projection lens, and a light valve; and a detection optical system including an image pickup device, the image pickup device being disposed in a position optically conjugating with the light valve, wherein: the detection optical system is configured to detect whether an input operation is performed in a peripheral region of a projection region on a projection surface, and in response to detection by the detection optical system in the peripheral region, a specific function is caused to be executed.

Examples disclosed herein relate to projecting onto a touch-sensitive surface a projection image having projected regions corresponding to target and non-target touch regions. Examples include a computing system having a touch-sensitive surface, and a camera to capture an image representing an object disposed between the camera and the touch-sensitive surface. The computing system may also include a detection engine to identify, based at least on the object represented in the image, at least one touch region of the touch-sensitive surface, and to generate a projection image including a projected region corresponding to the touch region, and a projector to project the projection image onto the touch-sensitive surface.
