Abstract:
Approaches presented herein enable tracking a physical object with a holographic projection, and, more specifically, enhancing a view of an object by tracking the object with a 3-D holographic projection. A holographic object tracking projection system receives, from a sensor, a feed of an area containing a physical object and locates a position of the physical object in the area based on the feed. The system creates a visible holographic object to mark the physical object, and projects the holographic object, using a holographic projector, at the position of the physical object. The holographic object can be a shape that surrounds the physical object in order to increase a visibility of the physical object. The physical object may move, and, as the physical object moves, the holographic object tracking projection system tracks this movement and adjusts the holographic object to match the movement of the physical object.
