Abstract
A video projector shows the desired scene on a projection screen. An infrared source close to the video projector uniformly floods the projection screen with non-visible infrared radiation. An infrared sensitive camera, also close to the video projector, observes the projection screen and sees only the uniform infrared illumination of the screen. Upon entry of a subject into the projected video image, the infrared reflected from the subject will not match that of the projection screen and thus the subject area is identified. All pixels of the projected scene, in the area occupied by the subject, are inhibited before reaching the video projector. The subject may then look directly at an audience without being blinded by the projector.
