Transforming your shadow into colorful visual media: multi-projection of complementary colors

This paper proposes a real-time system that transforms your shadows on a floor into colorful visual media. This system is based on the effect of complementary color and multiprojection techniques. By exactly calibrating the system geometrically and photometrically, our system makes it possible to display various images such as texture animation, colorful picture, text and live videos in your shadows without any digitized artifact or latency. Since it can display any images you like, it is applicable for various purposes such as media art, entertainment, and advertisement.
