Abstract

Approaches enable the projection of one or more visual elements, such as one or more dynamically changing graphical elements, that can substantially bound, or otherwise at least partially surround or identify, an object recognized by a computing device. The computing device can project the graphical elements to collectively appear as a bounding element for the recognized/actionable object or object portion. As such, the graphical elements can appear as a bounding element that adorns, decorates, highlights, and/or emphasizes, etc., the recognized/actionable object or object portion. The graphical elements to be dynamic. For example, the graphical elements can be projected to move around individually over time, while still appearing to at least partially surround the recognized/actionable object or object portion. Further, the graphical elements can be used to improve various object recognition approaches.
