Magic Projection or and Italian in Tokyo
As described by creator Marco Tempest:
Here is my “Magic Projection” system out on the streets in Tokyo. “Magic Projection” is my new Augmented Reality Projection Tracking system created for use in my magic stage performances. Have a look and let me know what you think.
The system works by tracking embedded infrared LED tracking markers in lightweight screens with a modified PS3 EyeToy camera and then fits projected video images onto moving screens at 120 fps.
In addition it features a virtual spotlight to light the performer while holding the screen without spilling light onto the projection surface, real-time 2D particle physics, an electronic whiteboard and a 3D function that rotates 3D objects in real time in relationship to the screen angle relative to the projector.
