Abstract

A method for projecting imagery onto a plurality of non-coplanar surfaces includes: viewing one or more mattes on a display; projecting, from a projector device operatively coupled to the display, a projected image of the one or more mattes on the three-dimensional surface; adjusting on the display the size, shape, position, orientation, or any combination thereof, of a first matte of the one or more mattes; viewing adjustments to the first matte on the display; and projecting the adjustments to the first matte so that edges of the projected image of the first matte are aligned with surface edges of at least one of the non-coplanar surfaces.

Claims (38)

1. A method for projecting imagery onto a plurality of non-coplanar surfaces, the method comprising:

viewing one or more mattes on a display;

projecting, from a projector device operatively coupled to the display, a projected image of the one or more mattes on the three-dimensional surface;

adjusting on the display the size, shape, position, orientation, or any combination thereof, of a first matte of the one or more mattes;

viewing adjustments to the first matte on the display; and

projecting the adjustments to the first matte so that edges of the projected image of the first matte are aligned with surface edges of at least one of the non-coplanar surfaces.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

adjusting on the display the size, shape, position, orientation, or any combination thereof, of a second matte of the one or more mattes;

viewing adjustments to the second matte on the display; and

projecting communicate with the projector so that the projected image of the second matte reflects the adjustments of the second matte and edges of the projected image of the second matte are aligned with surface edges of at least one of the non-coplanar surfaces.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

inserting imagery content into the first matte; and

projecting the inserted imagery when projecting the first matte.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the imagery content comprises a video.

5. A system for projecting imagery onto a plurality of non-coplanar surfaces using a projector, the system comprising:

a programmable device comprising a display and communicably coupled to the projector, wherein the programmable device is programmed to:

display one or more mattes on the display;

communicate with the projector so that the projector displays a projected image of the one or more mattes on the three-dimensional surface;

accept adjustments for the size, shape, position, orientation, or any combination thereof, to a first matte of the one or more mattes;

display the adjustments to the first matte on the display; and

communicate with the projector so that the projected image of the first matte reflects the adjustments of the first matte and edges of the projected image of the first matte are aligned with surface edges of at least one of the non-coplanar surfaces.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the programmable device is further programmed to:

accept adjustments for the size, shape, position, orientation, or any combination thereof, to a second matte of the one or more mattes;

display the adjustments to the second matte on the display; and

communicate with the projector so that the projected image of the second matte reflects the adjustments of the second matte and edges of the projected image of the second matte are aligned with surface edges of at least one of the non-coplanar surfaces.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the programmable device is further programmed to:

insert imagery content into the first matte; and

communicate with the projector to project the inserted imagery when the first matte is projected.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the imagery content comprises a video.

9. A system for projecting imagery onto a plurality of non-coplanar surfaces using a projector, the system comprising:

a programmable device comprising a display and communicably coupled to the projector, wherein the programmable device is programmed to:

display one or more mattes on the display; and

communicate with the projector to project an image of a first matte of the one or more mattes, wherein edges of the projected image of a first matte are aligned with surface edges of at least one of the non-coplanar surfaces.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the programmable device is further programmed to:

display adjustments for the size, shape, position, orientation, or any combination thereof, to the first matte on the display; and

communicate with the projector to project an image of the adjusted first matte.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the programmable device is further programmed to insert imagery content into the first matte and communicate with the projector to project the inserted imagery when the first matte is projected.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the imagery content comprises a video.
