I stumbled across an interesting post a few days ago on HC Gilje’s weblog Conversations with Spaces concerning relief projections. The focus in the post was on the work Augmented Sculpture v1.0 by Pablo Valbuena, which is incredibly beautiful, however the research by Johnny Chung Lee into automatic projector calibration (images above, video below) stood out as being a research system of great benefit to augmented reality and of course the Internet of Things.

These projections could be used in a number of ways, from simple non-standard shape projections, display enhanced objects, motion-tracked displays within augmented environments (e.g. in Minority report), augmenting physical objects with graphical interfaces and displays etc.
