LA Times Festival of Books 2019

With so much hype around device-based AR, it's been easy to overlook an existing medium: projection. Originally known as spatial augmented reality, the technique of using video projectors to digitally augment physical objects has been limited to high-budget events and research projects. Now, with advancements in computer vision, projector technology, and embedded computing, we are approaching an era where projection and lighting will merge to enable ubiquitous, light-based interfaces. Phil Reyneri, VP of Creative at Lightform provides the history and vision of the future, with an on-stage demo of next level AR projection.
