Interactive Projections

 WORK IN PROGRESS 

If you're interested in creating an interactive wall or floor projection, the first step would be to map the space and track anyone within it. This can be done in a variety of different ways, this tutorial will briefly introduce you to 3 mains techniques: 

Position tracking with LiDAR sensor

Object detection and tracking in OpenCV

Depth Sensing with OAK-D cameras

 

 

LiDAR technology can scan large areas by targeting a surface with a laser and measuring the time for the reflected light to return to the receiver; A Slamtec's RPLidar is a small scanner available for students to be used within the lab. The lidar requires a bit of work to set up, please allow a day for this process when planning your project - for Windows 10 and 11
