Interactive Video Window
First Claim
1. An interactive video window display system, comprising:
- a projector configured to project a visual image;
a screen behind a window having a front side, the screen configured to display the visual image, wherein the visual image is projected onto a back side of the screen for presentation to a user on a front side of the screen;
an illuminator configured to illuminate an object on the front side of the window;
a camera configured to detect an interaction of an illuminated object with the visual image, the interaction occurring within a volume of space in front of the window, wherein the screen is partially transparent to light detectable by the camera whereby the camera may detect the illuminated object through the screen; and
a computing device configured to direct the projector to change the visual image in response to the interaction of the illuminated object with the visual image, wherein the projector, camera, illuminator, and computing device are located on the same side of the window.

Abstract
An interactive video window display system. A projector projects a visual image. A screen displays the visual image, wherein the projector projects the visual image onto a back side of the screen for presentation to a user on a front side of the screen, and wherein the screen is adjacent to a window. An illuminator illuminates an object on a front side of the window. A camera detects interaction of an illuminated object with the visual image, wherein the screen is at least partially transparent to light detectable by the camera, allowing the camera to detect the illuminated object through the screen. A computer system directs the projector to change the visual image in response to the interaction. The projector, the camera, the illuminator, and the computer system are located on the same side of the window.

100. A method for managing interaction with a visual image, the method comprising:
-
projecting a visual image on a back side of a screen, wherein the visual image is visible to a user on a front side of the screen; emitting light to illuminate an object in front of a window located in front of the screen, wherein the screen is partially transparent to the emitted light; detecting an interaction of the illuminated object with the visual image, the interaction occurring within a volume of space in front of the window, the detection occurring through the screen; and changing the visual image in response to the interaction of the illuminated object with the visual image. - View Dependent Claims (101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107)

108. An interactive video window display system, comprising:
-
means for projecting a visual image; means for displaying the visual image, the means for displaying located behind a window having a front side, wherein the visual image is projected onto a back side of the means for displaying and is presented on a front side of the means for displaying; means for illuminating an object on the front side of the window; means for detecting interaction of an illuminated object with the visual image, the interaction occurring within a volume of space in front of the window, wherein the means for displaying is at least partially transparent to light detectable by the means for detecting and the means for detecting may detect the illuminated object through the means for displaying; and means for directing the means for projecting to change the visual image in response to the interaction of the illuminated object with the visual image, wherein the means for projecting, means for detecting, means for illuminating, and means for directing are located on the same side of the window.
