Abstract

A projection system includes a projection apparatus embodied in a housing secured to a user. The projection apparatus has a processor in data communication with a networking device, at least one input/output device, and computer memory. The computer memory includes a program with machine readable instructions that, when effected by processor, perform the following steps: (a) determine an edge of a surface to be measured; (b) project an initial image onto the surface, the initial image being based on a predetermined set of conditions; (c) determine a substantially perpendicular distance D1 between the projection apparatus and the surface; (d) determine a distance D2 between the projection apparatus and the edge of the surface; (e) calibrate the initial image based on the distances D1 and D2 determined in steps (c) and (d); and (f) project an updated image onto the surface.
