An image projection device for displaying an image onto a remote surface. The image projection device employs a scanner to project image beams of visible light and tracer beams of light onto a remote surface to form a display of the image. The device also employs a light detector to sense at least the reflections of light from the tracer beam pulses incident on the remote surface. The device employs the sensed tracer beam light pulses to predict the trajectory of subsequent image beam light pulses and tracer beam light pulses that form a display of the image on the remote surface in a pseudo random pattern. The trajectory of the projected image beam light pulses can be predicted so that the image is displayed from a point of view that can be selected by, or automatically adjusted for, a viewer of the displayed image.

A buffer arrangement for providing pixel information in a Lissajous scanning projection system is provided. The projection system includes a memory, a MEMS mirror, a projection unit, and a data unit. The memory includes a projection buffer and a shadow buffer. An incoming stream of pixel information scanned from the MEMS mirror is written to the shadow buffer. The incoming stream of pixel information is forwarded to the projection buffer. The projection buffer forwards the incoming stream of pixel information to the projection unit. The projection unit projects the incoming stream of pixel information based on the Lissajous pattern through a mirror projector trajectory. The shadow buffer and the projection buffer operate at different frequencies.
