Abstract

The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods that are related to an image capture projection surface. For example, in some implementations, a method includes receiving at least one projected image on at least one image capture projection surface, capturing at least a portion of the at least one projected image from the at least one image capture projection surface to form a captured image, and communicating at least a portion of the captured image.

capturing at least a portion of the at least one projected image in accordance with at least one financial transaction.

19. The method of claim 1, wherein the capturing at least a portion of the at least one projected image from the at least one image capture projection surface to form a captured image comprises:

capturing at least a portion of the at least one projected image using at least one of full imaging, optical scanning, or mechanical scanning.

22. The method of claim 1, wherein the capturing at least a portion of the at least one projected image from the at least one image capture projection surface to form a captured image comprises:

capturing at least a portion of the at least one projected image related to at least one user-specified content.

23. The method of claim 1, wherein the communicating at least a portion of the captured image comprises:

communicating at least a portion of the captured image in accordance with a user instruction, a user attribute, and a financial transaction.

27. The method of claim 1, wherein the communicating at least a portion of the captured image comprises:

communicating at least a portion of the captured image to a memory, a hardware device, a software application, a user device, a printer, a monitor display, and a projector.

29. The method of claim 1, wherein the communicating at least a portion of the captured image comprises:

communicating at least a portion of the captured image in association with audio content.

30. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving at least one user input on the at least one image capture projection surface.
