LICOA system treats projected light as embodied action for spatial AR

Researchers have developed LICOA, a system that treats projected light as an embodied action for mobile spatial augmented reality. LICOA uses a differential-drive chassis and a steerable mirror to control the projection's position, scale, and orientation based on language instructions and visual input. To address the lack of training data, a matched simulation environment and a corpus of 150 tasks were created, enabling models trained solely on this data to perform effectively in real-world, unseen environments. AI

IMPACT This research could enable more dynamic and interactive spatial augmented reality experiences by treating light projection as a controllable action.

    LICOA: Learning Instruction-Conditioned Optical Actions for Mobile Spatial Augmented Reality

    arXiv:2610.21282v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spatial augmented reality (SAR) augments physical environments with projected content, but most systems assume that the projector pose, target region, or motion path has been fixed or specified. We instead make projected light an …
