Abstract

See full text

A projection equipped computing device is described that projects an accurate representation of an item available for purchase from an electronic marketplace onto a projection surface. For example, the device may identify physical dimensions of an item from an image of the item. The device may then determine the distance between it and the projection surface and project a light beam toward the projection surface to form a representation of the item on the projection surface. The representation of the item formed on projection surface has representative dimensions that mimic, at the determined distance, the physical dimensions of the item as identified from the image of the item. Accordingly, the user of the device can envision how the item would appear in a space located relative to the projection surface if the user purchased the item from the electronic marketplace and placed the item in that space.
