ABSTRACT
The paper proposes a new approach for the display of computer-generated vector data by a laser projector that will benefit applications in the fields of advertising, marketing and manufacturing. Among the advantages of laser projections are the capability for a swift change of the projected content and the high contrast and brightness of the presentation. They offer a flexible way to attract human attention with a high degree of success.
The paper presents the design and development of the software and hardware building blocks of our prototype laser-based projection system. First, the overall conceptual design of the system is presented and the strategy for the adaptation of the vector data for laser projection is explained. Then, some of the implementation details of both the software and hardware of the system are described. The challenges that we encountered are discussed, some experimental results are presented and the next steps for the successful practical application of the system are outlined.
