Method, apparatus, and manufacture for a tracking camera or detector with fast asynchronous triggering
First Claim
1. A system for projecting one or more images onto one or more surfaces, comprising:
- a plurality of differently colored light sources;
one or more sensors; and
a memory that stores at least instructions;
a processor device that executes the instructions that perform actions, comprising;
employing the colored light sources to project the one or more images onto the one or more surfaces;
employing the one or more sensors to determine an area of focus for a user viewing the one or more images projected onto the one or more surfaces;
updating the one or more images based on the area of focus and one or more adjustments to one or more colors and their corresponding intensities for the colored light sources; and
employing the adjusted colored light sources to project the one or more updated images onto the one or more surfaces based on the area of focus for the user.

Abstract
An image projection device for displaying an image onto a remote surface. The image projection device employs a scanner to project image beams of visible light and tracer beams of light onto a remote surface to form a display of the image. The device also employs a light detector to sense at least the reflections of light from the tracer beam pulses incident on the remote surface. The device employs the sensed tracer beam light pulses to predict the trajectory of subsequent image beam light pulses and tracer beam light pulses that form a display of the image on the remote surface in a pseudo random pattern. The trajectory of the projected image beam light pulses can be predicted so that the image is displayed from a point of view that can be selected by, or automatically adjusted for, a viewer of the displayed image.
