Abstract
Techniques are described for identifying suitable surfaces within a room upon which visual content may be displayed. One or more images of the room are obtained and used to identify planar surfaces. The images may also be analyzed to determine the visual textures of the surfaces within the room. Suitable projection surfaces may then be selected from the identified planar surfaces, based on the visual textures of the planar surfaces.
