Is Projection Mapping Natural? Towards Physical World Augmentation Consistent with Light Field Context

TL;DR

This paper explores making projection mapping more natural by aligning it with the light field context of real scenes, aiming to improve the realism of augmented physical environments.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach to achieve natural projection mapping by ensuring consistency with the light field context of everyday scenes.

Findings

Initial framework for light field consistent projection mapping

Improved realism in augmented physical environments

Foundation for future natural projection techniques

Abstract

Projection mapping seamlessly merges real and virtual worlds. Although much effort was made to improve its image qualities so far, projection mapping is still unnatural. We introduce the first steps towards natural projection mapping by making the projection results consistent with the light field context of our daily scene.
