An interactive system includes a transmitter (light-emitting pen) configured to transmit an optical signal and a projector. The projector includes a signal-intensity setting unit in which intensity information of a synchronization signal is set, a signal-intensity control unit (light-emission control unit) configured to control the intensity of the synchronization signal on the basis of the setting of the signal-intensity setting unit, a synchronization-signal transmitting unit (infrared-light emitting unit) configured to transmit the synchronization signal, and an image pickup unit configured to pick up an image of the optical signal transmitted from the transmitter. The transmitter includes a receiving unit (pen reception unit) configured to receive the synchronization signal and an optical-signal transmitting unit (pen control unit and a light-emitting diode) configured to transmit the optical signal in synchronization with the synchronization signal received by the receiving unit.

Interactive system, control method for interactive system, and projector

A projector includes: an external case provided with an opening through which light passes; a projection system disposed within an inside space of the external case, wherein the projection system includes a reflection member having a reflection surface capable of reflecting light received from a light source device to guide the light toward the opening, and projects the light to the outside of the external case via the opening; and a detection unit which detects a foreign material existing on the optical path of the light in the area of light exit of the opening.
