Tangible projection mapping: dynamic appearance augmenting of objects in hands

Abstract

We propose a technique of dynamic appearance augmentation by projection to object in user's hands, named Tangible Projection Mapping. This technique allows users to hold a target object freely, and augments appearance of that in various postures by user's manipulation. In addition, Tangible Projection Mapping has the potential to contribute to widespread use of dynamic projection mapping because of using only off-the-shelf devices. In our demonstration, any textures and movies can be projected on the objects of various shapes. It can provide a deep sense of unity with the attractively enhanced object in hands.
