Using laser projectors for augmented reality

The paper explores the use of laser projectors as an alternative to head-mounted displays for Augmented Reality. We describe the development of an Augmented Reality Laser Projector and report on experiences setting up AR systems that use laser projectors, reasoning about several design criteria.
