About "Open Project"

Google Research today revealed a project for transferring mobile content to a remote display, just by using the smartphone camera. In other words, this system lets you project without a projector.

Open Project is an end-to-end framework that allows you to “project” a native mobile application onto an arbitrary display using a smartphone camera.

This is still in a very early stage of course. Nevertheless, Google notes the display can range from a PC or laptop monitor, to a TV connected to the Internet, to a public wall-sized display.

How Google Research describes the project’s findings so far:

Open Project is an open, scalable, web-based framework for enabling mobile sharing and collaboration. It can turn any computer display projectable instantaneously and without deployment.

Developers can add support for Open Project in native mobile apps by simply linking a library, requiring no additional hardware or sensors.

A number of companies are currently looking at how they can use large touch screens to make collaboration easier

Adobe’s Project Context, for example, uses a table with a built-in touch screen and a wall of large screens in the room to allow its users to create magazine layouts.

Microsoft, too, is working on similar setups based on Windows 8 and acquired Perceptive Pixel last year to experiment with large touch displays.
