Abstract
Techniques are generally described for steering projection based on computer vision determination of body position, gaze, and pointing gestures. An example method includes identifying a set of candidate projection surfaces and receiving a voice command to begin projection. The example method also includes capturing a wide-area scene image with a top-down perspective and determining an array of location coordinates indicative of a location of a human in the wide-area scene image, where the array of location coordinates is further indicative of a pointing direction of the human in the wide-area scene image. Finally, the example method includes determining a target projection surface from the set of candidate projection surfaces based on proximity to the location of the human and the pointing direction of the human and projecting a projection image onto the target projection surface.
