'MotionBeam' is an interaction metaphor for handheld projectors that I have been working on with Ivan Poupyrev at Disney Research. The paper below shows our early results and was presented at CHI 2010 in Atlanta, GA.
MotionBeam: Designing for Movement with Handheld Projectors (PDF 216k) / Poster (PDF 244k). The abstract is as follows:
In this paper we present a novel interaction metaphor for handheld projectors we label MotionBeam. We detail a number of interaction techniques that utilize the physical movement of a handheld projector to better express the motion and physicality of projected objects. Finally we present the first iteration of a projected character design that uses the MotionBeam metaphor for user interaction.
