Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- capturing image data with at least a camera of a painted surface display system;
analyzing the image data to determine a real-world context proximate to a painted surface, wherein the painted surface is painted with a photo-active paint;
selecting a theme based on the determined real-world context;
generating a theme image; and
driving a spatial electromagnetic modulator to emit electromagnetic stimulation in the form of the theme image to cause the photo active paint to display the theme image.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for enabling themes using photo-active surface paint is described. The method may include capturing image data with at least a camera of a painted surface display system. The method may also include analyzing the image data to determine a real-world context proximate to a painted surface, wherein the surface is painted with a photo-active paint. The method may also include selecting a theme based on the determined real-world context. The method may also include generating a theme image, and driving a spatial electromagnetic modulator to emit electromagnetic stimulation in the form of the theme image to cause the photo active paint to display the theme image.

21. A painted surface display system comprising:
-
a camera to capture image data; an event detector to analyze the image data to determine a real-world context proximate to a painted surface, wherein the painted surface is painted with a photo-active paint; a theme engine to select a theme based on the determined real-world context; and a display engine to generate a theme image, and drive a spatial electromagnetic modulator to emit electromagnetic stimulation in the form of the theme image to cause the photo active paint to display the theme image.
