Claim One:
1. An apparatus comprising: a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium configured to store specific computer-executable instructions; a light source configured to project a light beam toward a projection surface; and a processor in communication with the light source and the computer-readable non-transitory storage medium, the processor configured to execute the specific computer-executable instructions to at least: identify a physical dimension of an item from image data associated with the item; determine a distance between the apparatus and the projection surface; determine an angle at which the light beam is to be projected toward the projection surface; and based at least in part on the determined distance, cause the light source to project the light beam toward the projection surface to form a representation of the item on the projection surface, wherein the representation of the item has a representative dimension, wherein the representative dimension of the representation of the item formed on the projection surface automatically mimics, at the determined distance, the physical dimension of the item identified from the image data, and wherein the projection surface is a physical projection surface in a non-virtual environment and the angle is determined to mimic the physical dimension of the item at the physical projection surface.
