Abstract
A method, apparatus and system for projecting visible and non-visible images is provided. The system and apparatus include: a visible light source and a non-visible light source; at least one light modulator enabled for receiving and modulating the visible light and non-visible light to respectively form visible images and non-visible images, the non-visible images formed independent of the visible images; and projection optics enabled for receiving and co-projecting the visible and non-visible images in alignment. Furthermore, video data for projection is formed by replacing a portion of visible bits with at least a portion of non-visible bits in a data stream, such that the visible images and the non-visible images can be co-projected upon processing the video data.
