Interactive projection technology is an innovative technology that combines projection display with human-computer interaction. It realizes real-time interaction between users and projection content through a series of complex hardware and software systems. Here is a detailed description of how the interactive projection technology works and its main components:

The Basic Principle of Interactive Projection Technology
The core of interactive projection technology is to transform the user's action or instruction into the change of projection content, so as to realize the interactive function. The way it works can be summarized as follows:

1. Projection display: projection of an image or video onto a specific display surface (such as a wall, floor, or desktop) by a high-definition projector. The content of these projections can be a static picture, can also be dynamic video or animation.
2. Motion capture: the use of sensors, such as cameras, infrared sensors, laser sensors, etc. , to capture the user's movements or gestures. These sensors can detect a user's position, range of motion, speed, and other information.
3. Data Processing: the captured motion data is transmitted to a computer system for processing and analysis by specialized software. The software translates a user's actions into commands based on predefined rules and algorithms.
4. Content feedback: the computer system adjusts the projection content in real time according to the processed instructions. For example, when a user waves, objects in the projected screen may move or change to achieve an interactive effect.

The Main Components of Interactive Projection Technology

• Projection Equipment
  

The projection device is one of the core components of the interactive projection system, which is responsible for projecting the image or video content to the display surface. Common projectors include:

Digital Projector: digital projector can provide high definition, high brightness projection picture, suitable for all kinds of environment. They usually support multiple input interfaces, such as HDMI, VGA, and so on, and can be easily connected to computers or other devices.

Laser projectors: Laser projectors use a laser as the light source, with higher brightness and color saturation, able to project a clear picture at a greater distance. In addition, the laser projector has a longer service life and lower maintenance costs.

• Sensors

Sensors are key components for interactive functions, capturing user actions or instructions. Common types of sensors include:

Camera sensors: camera sensors capture a user's movements and gestures and convert them into digital signals. These cameras often have high resolution and high frame rates and can accurately capture small movements by the user.

Infrared sensors: infrared sensors detect the position and movement of objects by transmitting and receiving infrared light. They have little interference to the ambient light and are suitable for various illumination conditions.

Laser Sensor: A laser sensor uses a laser beam to detect the distance and position of an object. With their high accuracy and sensitivity, they are capable of very precise interaction.

• Data Processing Systems

The data processing system is the brain of interactive projection technology, which is responsible for processing and analyzing the data captured by sensors. It usually consists of a high-performance computer and specialized software:

Computer: a computer is responsible for receiving data from sensors and processing them through software. It requires significant computing power to ensure that it can handle large amounts of data in real time.

Interactive software: interactive software is the key to interactive functionality. According to the preset rules and algorithms, it converts the user's actions into corresponding instructions, and controls the change of the projection content. This software is often highly customizable and can be adapted to different application scenarios.

• Display Surface

The display surface is where the projected content is displayed, be it a wall, floor, desktop, etc. . For better interaction, the display surface needs to meet the following conditions:

Flatness: the display surface should be as flat as possible to ensure the clarity and uniformity of the projected picture.

Reflective: the reflection of the display surface to moderate, can not be too smooth to lead to blurred pictures, can not be too rough to affect the projection effect.

Size: the size of the display surface needs to be selected according to the projection distance of the projection device and the image size to ensure that enough interactive space is provided.

Workflow of Interactive Projection Technology

Initialization
When the interactive projection system is activated, the projection device projects a preset image onto the display surface, while sensors work to capture the user's movements.

Motion Capture

Sensors capture the user's movements in real time as he enters the interaction area and begins to move. This information includes the user's location, range of motion, speed, and so on.

Data Processing
The motion data captured by sensors are transmitted to a computer system and processed by interactive software. The software translates a user's actions into commands based on predefined rules and algorithms.

Content Feedback
The computer system adjusts the projection content in real time according to the processed instructions. For example, when a user waves, objects in the projected screen may move or change to achieve an interactive effect.

Constant Interaction
Users can continue to act in the interactive area, the system will continue to capture and process these actions, and real-time feedback to the projection content, to achieve a continuous interactive experience.
