WEARABLE MULTIMEDIA DEVICE AND CLOUD COMPUTING PLATFORM WITH LASER PROJECTION SYSTEM

1 . A body-worn apparatus comprising:

a camera;

a depth sensor;

a laser projection system;

one or more processors;

memory storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

capturing, using the camera, a set of digital images;

identifying an object in the set of digital images;

capturing, using the depth sensor, depth data;

identifying a gesture of a user wearing the apparatus in the depth data;

associating the object with the gesture;

obtaining data associated with the object; and

projecting, using the laser projection system, a laser projection of the data on a surface.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the laser projection includes a text label for the object.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the laser projection includes a size template for the object.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the laser projection includes instructions for performing an action on the object.

5 . A body-worn apparatus comprising:

a camera;

a depth sensor;

a laser projection system;

one or more processors;

memory storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

capturing, using the sensor, depth data;

identifying a first gesture in the depth data, the gesture made by a user wearing the apparatus;

associating the first gesture with a request or command; and

projecting, using the laser projection system, a laser projection on a surface, the laser projection associated with the request or command.

6 . The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the operations further comprise:

obtaining, using the depth sensor, a second gesture associated with the laser projection;

determining user input based on the second gesture; and

initiating one or more actions in accordance with the user input.

7 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise:

masking the laser projection to prevent projecting the data on a hand of the user making the second gesture.

8 . The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the operations further comprise:

obtaining, using the depth sensor or camera, depth or image data indicative of a geometry, material or texture of the surface; and

adjusting one or more parameters of the laser projection system based on the geometry, material or texture of the surface.

9 . The apparatus of claim 5 , the operations further comprising:

capturing, using the camera, reflections of the laser projection from the surface;

automatically adjusting an intensity of the laser projection to compensate for different indexes of refraction so that the laser projection has a uniform brightness.

10 . The apparatus of claim 5 , further comprising:

a magnetic attachment mechanism configured to magnetically couple to a battery pack through a user's clothing, the magnetic attachment mechanism further configured to receive inductive charging from the battery back.

11 . A method comprising:

capturing, using a depth sensor of a body-worn apparatus, depth data;

identifying, using one or more processors of the apparatus, a first gesture in the depth data, the first gesture made by a user wearing the apparatus;

associating, using the one or more processors, the first gesture with a request or command; and

projecting, using a laser projection system of the apparatus, a laser projection on a surface, the laser projection associated with the request or command.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

obtaining, using the depth sensor, a second gesture by the user, the second gesture associated with the laser projection;

determining user input based on the second gesture; and

initiating one or more actions in accordance with the user input.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the one or more actions include controlling another device.

14 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

masking the laser projection to prevent projecting the data on a hand of the user making the second gesture.

15 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

obtaining, using the depth sensor or camera, depth or image data indicative of a geometry, material or texture of the surface; and

adjusting one or more parameters of the laser projection system based on the geometry, material or texture of the surface.
