Abstract
A mobile device, such as a smart phone, is provided with a camera and a projector. A user may select a still image or a video sequence and project it onto a viewing surface using the mobile device. Once the viewer selects a preferred perspective view frame, the image frame may be pinned to the viewing surface. After that, the viewer may move the projector to different positions while holding the projector, or sit the projector on a table and the viewed image will be maintained in the same perspective view frame as the initial selected view.
