First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for displaying an image comprising:
- sensing, by at least two accelerometers, acceleration of the projector in at least two directions;
based on the sensed accelerations determining the velocity of the projector in first and second directions; and
adjusting an image associated with the projector in directions generally opposite to the first and second directions at velocities generally opposite to the determined velocities in the first and second directions such that the shifted image appears stationary when displayed.

Abstract
According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for displaying an image includes sensing an acceleration of a projector in at least one direction and, based on the sensed acceleration, determining a motion of the projector in at least one direction. The method also includes adjusting an image associated with the projector based on the determined relative motion.
