Abstract:
One variation of a method for augmenting surfaces in a space includes: at a projection system, recording a sequence of scans of the space; aggregating the sequence of scans into a projector-domain image of the space; detecting a set of objects in the projector-domain image; identifying an object, in the set of objects, as of a first type; detecting a surface proximal the object in the projector-domain image; defining an association between the surface and a content source based on the first type of the object; based on the association, warping visual content output by the content source according to a profile of the surface extracted from the projector-domain image; actuating a projector assembly in the projection system to locate the surface in the field of view of a light projector in the projection system; and projecting the visual content, via the light projector, toward the surface.
