Abstract
Various embodiments herein include systems, methods, and software for an entertainment projection device. In addition to projecting entertainment content, the projection device includes a camera for capturing user motion and a graphical display that is arranged to be altered in response to detection of user motion as captured by the camera. Two or more systems may also be used to display a continuous image, such as in projecting streaming video. The entertainment projection device may be a standalone device, or may be in a self-contained light fixture replacement that provides ambient room light or an interactive RGB projection.

20. An interactive video system comprising:
-
an infrared light source configured to project infrared light onto a user environment area; an infrared image capture device configured to capture a plurality of infrared video images from the user environment area; an infrared lens filter configured to reduce non-infrared light that reaches the infrared image capture device; a processor configured to detect a user motion event within the plurality of infrared video images and update a graphical image in response to the motion event; a projector configured to project the graphical image on a surface; a housing, wherein the infrared light source, infrared image capture device, and processor are contained within the housing; an adjustable base connected to the housing configured to support the housing in a selected housing orientation; an orientation sensor within the housing configured to provide housing orientation information to the processor, wherein the processor corrects for distortions in the image based at least in part on the housing orientation information; a motor configured to adjust the selected orientation of the housing; and an internal wireless device configured to provide a communication path between the processor and an external device.
