20090124382Interactive image projection system and method - An interactive image projection system and method provides for projection of an interactive image on a projection surface. A copy of the image is broadcast by two projectors onto the projection surface in registration with one another to form a single projection copy on the surface. Sensors on the surface detect a position on the projection surface of an object manipulatable by a user and a computing device connected to the object generates an output in response thereto. The projectors are configured such that any shadow cast by the object in the path of a projection from one projector is at least partially eliminated by the projection of the other projector.05-14-2009
