System and method of communicating information about an object concealed by a scanned surface
First Claim
1. A system for communicating information about one or both of an object with a scanned surface and an object at least partially concealed by the scanned surface, comprising:
- a scanner adapted to scan the surface to obtain information that is unattainable through visual observation;
a projector adapted to project an image related to the obtained information onto the scanned surface; and
wherein the projected image is a dynamic image that is mapped in substantially real-time to a location on the scanned surface from or through which the information is obtained.
