1. A projector/camera system, comprising:
- a projector, configured to project a sequenced image to a projection location; and
a camera, located at the projection location and oriented to take an image of a region including the projector, the camera being configured to capture a sequenced image that is synchronized and out of phase with the sequenced image of the projector, thereby to minimize light interference from the projector.

Abstract
A projector/camera system includes a projector, configured to project a sequenced image to a projection location, and a camera, located at the projection location and oriented to take an image of a region including the projector. The camera is configured to capture a sequenced image that is synchronized and out of phase with the sequenced image of the projector, thereby to minimize light interference from the projector.

11. A video conferencing system, comprising:
-
a first projector, configured to project a sequenced image to a first projection location; a first camera, located at the first projection location and oriented to take an image of a region including the projector, the camera being configured to capture a sequenced image that is synchronized and out of phase with the sequenced image of the projector, thereby to minimize light interference from the projector; a second projector, configured to receive an image signal from the first camera, and to project an image based upon the image signal to a second projection location; and a second camera, configured to provide an image to the first projector. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for reducing light interference in a system having a projector, configured to project an image to a projection location, and a camera, located at the projection location and oriented to take an image of a region including the projector, comprising the steps of:
-
projecting a sequenced image with the projector; and capturing a sequenced image with the camera, the sequenced image of the camera being synchronized and out of phase with the sequenced image of the projector, such that light interference from the projector to the camera is reduced. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
