The second generation of the projection tech does color: http://www.k2.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/vision/dynaflashv2/index-e.htm... And they can now do the tracking without the infrared paint: http://www.k2.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/vision/MIDAS/index-e.html

That second one is insane! I can't get my head around how they would be able to do it.

That is just stunning.

I guess Disney Imagenineering dept. would love to do some cools things with this. Or perhaps they already have this capability?

These are the kind of things were I'd like to have a commercial version already!

Edit: Also, the url in the original post is from 2016! wow!

(@dang maybe add (2016) to the title?)

The demo video answered my questions, is short and the tech is impressive. Not entirely sure of the business model though. The non-rigid tracking might be more useful than the projection -- perhaps a Defense application?

I immediately thought of Disney parks and stuff like Cirque du Soleil and other performances (concerts, raves, etc)

Skimming the description, they used a structured light approach (active) for geometry deformation tracking. This is still probably useful for certain defense applications but an ideal goal is often to use passive tracking systems. It's impressive either way.

Lots of theater, performing, and visual art uses come to mind.
