Systems for Capturing Images Through A Display
First Claim
1. A visual-collaborative system comprising:
- a display screen having a first surface and a second surface;
a first projector positioned to project images onto a projection surface of the display screen, wherein the projected images can be observed by viewing the second surface; and
a first camera system positioned to capture images of objects through the display screen, the first camera system including a first filter disposed between a first camera and the first surface, wherein the first filter passes the light received by the camera but substantially blocks the light produced by the first projector.
