Abstract

There is provided a projection system including a projector that projects a projection image on a projection surface and a pointing element that points at the projection surface. The pointing element includes a reflector that is provided at a front end section of the pointing element and reflects infrared light, and an information communication section that transmits contact notification to the projector when the pointing element senses contact between the front end section and an object. The projector includes a light radiator that radiates the infrared light toward the projection surface, a first camera that captures an image of the projection surface, a second camera that is disposed in a position different from a position of the first camera and captures an image of the projection surface, and a detection section that detects a position where the pointing element comes into contact with the projection surface.
