Patent Images

1. A method comprising:

  • receiving an image of a scene in real world, the image comprising a plurality of distances to points in the real world;

    using at least the plurality of distances, to identify a set of surfaces in the scene;

    selecting an element of information to project on to the scene, the selected element of information having a size, the information comprising multiple elements that are independent of one another and can be projected on different surfaces;

    comparing the size of the selected element to a size of a surface in the set of surfaces;

    selecting the surface from the set of surfaces, on which the selected element of information can be projected, selection of the surface being based at least in part on the size of the surface being found by the comparing to be sufficiently large to accommodate the element;

    one or more processors identifying a transform function to use the surface;

    applying to at least the selected element of information, the transform function; and

    storing in a frame buffer in a memory, at a specific position, a transformed element resulting from the applying.
