In one embodiment, a system includes at least one projector comprising a plurality of light emitters, where the projector is configured to project a projected pattern comprising a plurality of projected features having different locations; a camera configured to capture an image comprising a detected pattern corresponding to a reflection of the projected pattern; and one or more processors configured to: identify at least one detected feature of the detected pattern, wherein the detected feature corresponds to at least one reflection of the projected features; and activate or deactivate one or more of the light emitters based on the detected feature. The light emitters may be activated or deactivated by determining a detected feature measurement based on the detected feature, and activating or deactivating one or more of the light emitters when the detected feature measurement satisfies a threshold feature measurement condition.

A system for compounding medications. The system includes one or more compounding devices, and a central computer system. The central computer system receives requests, at least some of which require the compounding of one or more medications, and pushes assignments of respective compounding tasks to the one or more compounding devices. The assignments are made in accordance with a set of rules designed to promote efficient use of compounding resources.
