Abstract
An anamorphic projection device is described. In one aspect, the device includes at least one camera and a projector such as a pico projector. The device receives information from the camera to sense position and orientation of a projection surface independent of the device. Based on this received information, the device renders an anamorphic image for perspective viewing on the sensed projection surface. In one implementation, the device receives the image wirelessly, for example, from a website. In one aspect, the device includes a user interface or UI. The UI allows a device user to navigate a projected image (e.g., use a cursor control or other means to navigate a webpage), present/download a new projected image, lock a projected image to a coordinate space on the projection surface to reduce or eliminate movement of the projected image responsive to user or device movement, etc.
