Walt Disney Imagineering and Disney Research Zürich are building a projector- camera toolbox to help create spatially augmented 3D objects and dynamic, interactive spaces that enhance the theme park experience by immersing guests in magical worlds. A related video can be seen here: http://youtu.be/wjrylXl0tTk. It shows examples of projection-based augmented reality techniques being employed in Disney theme parks.

Real-Time Projection Mapping for Performance Arts
TLDR
Developing real-time projection mapping system that can project and align images on the surface of moving actor’s costume by applying augmented reality based on projection mapping can not only describe a particular character effectively, but also offer visual experience to audiences.
Afterglow projection: virtual information projection method to real environment using pico projector in mixed reality
TLDR
The projection of the pico projector is replaced with a ceiling projector installed in the environment and left in place, and a plurality of virtual information is realized simultaneous with the continuous presentation to the real environment.
An Efficient Framework for Making Spatial Augmented Reality Digital Contents
TLDR
A new framework for making spatial augmented reality contents fast and with low cost using off-the-shelf webcams and projectors is introduced, which projects a virtual object contents according to the manipulation of a trackable real object.
RoomAlive: magical experiences enabled by scalable, adaptive projector-camera units
TLDR
This work investigates the design space of gaming experiences that are possible with RoomAlive, explores methods for dynamically mapping content based on room layout and user position, and showcases four experience prototypes that demonstrate the novel interactive experiences possible with the system.
Inner Garden: an Augmented Sandbox Designed for Self-Reflection
TLDR
A prototype of an augmented sandbox where the sand is used to create a miniature living world, designed as an ambient display for contemplation and self-reflection, using a consumer-grade EEG and breathing sensors to reflect on frustration and meditative states of users.
Design and use of 3D typography for indoor Augmented Reality mobile applications
Augmented Reality (AR), a concept where the real word is being enhanced with computer generated objects and text, has evolved and become a popular tool to communicate information through. Research ...
Augmenting reality: On the shared history of perceptual illusion and video projection mapping
TLDR
A critical milestone has been reached in the creation of the technical possibilities for all encompassing, untethered synthetic reality experiences available to the plain senses, where every surface may act as a screen and the relation to everyday objects is open to alterations.
Real-Time Projection-Based Augmented Reality System for Dynamic Objects in the Performing Arts
TLDR
This study aims to project imagery correctly inside the silhouettes of flexible objects, in other words, live actors or the surface of actor’s costumes, especially for dynamic objects in live performing shows, such as plays, dancing, or musicals.
IllumiRoom: peripheral projected illusions for interactive experiences
TLDR
This work investigates how projected visualizations in the periphery can negate, include, or augment the existing physical environment and complement the content displayed on the television screen.
VirtualTable: a projection augmented reality game
TLDR
VirtualTable is a projection augmented reality installation where users are engaged in an interactive tower defense game, forcing the players to use strategy and collaboration and not the sheer number of objects to win the game.
