Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for enhancing a projected image, the method comprising computer-implemented operations for: emitting pulses of infrared light against an occluding object between a projector and a projection screen; sensing the infrared light reflected by the occluding object between the projector and the projection screen using an infrared sensing three-dimensional camera comprising a monochrome complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sensor; determining, by a computing device, a depth of the occluding object and the projection screen based on a delay of the sensed infrared light reflected by the occluding object and the projection screen; generating, by the computing device, a key based on determining the depth of the occluding object and the projection screen, wherein the key identifies pixels of the image that were occluded by the occluding object; modifying, by the computing device, an image according to the key to generate a new image; and providing, by the computing device, the new image to the projector, the projector further configured to project the new image.
