Original Abstract Submitted

a light system that may project virtual content onto surfaces of a room. the system may include one or more low-resolution light-emitting diode (led) projectors for emitting light representing low-resolution virtual content, and a high-resolution led projector for emitting light representing high-resolution virtual content. the high-resolution projector may be used to project a 2d image of augmented or virtual reality content being viewed by a person in a room using a device such as a headset or glasses onto a surface of the room so that other persons in the room can view a representation of what the person using the device is seeing. the low-resolution projector(s) may project low-resolution images onto other surfaces in the room, for example the walls and ceiling. the system may also be configured to emit diffuse light to illuminate a room when not emitting light representing virtual content.
