Abstract

A projection display system includes: an image projection device projecting an image on a projection surface; an optical detecting device; and an attaching device, wherein the optical detecting device includes an irradiating section emitting an irradiation light toward a detection region which is set along the projection surface, a light receiving section receiving a reflected light generated as a result of the irradiation light being reflected from the object, and a detecting section detecting position information of the object based on the result of the light received by the light receiving section, and the attaching device includes a first attaching section attached to a support supporting the attaching device, a second attaching section attached to the image projection device, and a third attaching section attached to the optical detecting device.

Claims (33)

1. A projection display system comprising:

an image projection device projecting an image on a projection surface;

an optical detecting device that detects position information of an object located in a detection region which is set along the projection surface; and

an attaching device, wherein

the optical detecting device includes

an irradiating section emitting an irradiation light toward the detection region,

a light receiving section receiving a reflected light generated as a result of the irradiation light being reflected from the object, and

a detecting section detecting the position information of the object based on the result of the light received by the light receiving section, and

the attaching device includes

a first attaching section that is in a bar shape elongating in a first direction, and one end of the first attaching section is attached to a support supporting the attaching device,

a second attaching section that is in a plate shape elongating in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a first area in one end on a top surface of the second attaching section is connected to the other end of the first attaching section, a second area, which is opposite to the first area, in the one end on a bottom surface of the second attaching section is attached to the image projection device, and

a third attaching section that is continuously provided at the other end of the second attaching section in the second direction, a third area of a bottom surface of the third attaching section is attached to the optical detecting device so that the optical detecting device is spaced apart from the image projection device in the second direction.

2. The projection display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the irradiating section emits the irradiation light with different intensities in accordance with a direction in which the irradiation light is emitted.

3. The projection display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the irradiating section includes

a light source section emitting a source light,

a light guide which is curved and which guides the source light from the light source section, and

an irradiation direction setting section receiving the source light exiting from an outer circumferential side of the light guide and setting an irradiation direction of the irradiation light such that the irradiation light travels from an inner circumferential side to the outer circumferential side of the light guide.

4. The projection display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the optical detecting device has a first irradiating section and a second irradiating section,

the first irradiating section radially emits first irradiation light with different intensities in accordance with a direction in which the first irradiation light is emitted,

the second irradiating section radially emits second irradiation light with different intensities in accordance with a direction in which the second irradiation light is emitted,

the light receiving section receives a first reflected light generated as a result of the first irradiation light being reflected from the object and a second reflected light generated as a result of the second irradiation light being reflected from the object, and

the detecting section detects a position of the object based on the result of the first and second reflected lights received by the light receiving section.

5. The projection display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the detecting section detects the position information of the object in the detection region after the image projection device projects an image for calibration on the projection surface, and

the optical detecting device transmits the detected position information of the object to the image projection device or an information processor controlling the image projection device.

6. The projection display system according to claim 5 , wherein

the optical detecting device includes an interface section, and

the optical detecting device transmits information for calibration via the interface section.

7. The projection display system according to claim 6 , wherein

the optical detecting device receives electric power from the image projection device via the interface section.
