ABSTRACT:
A system and method for precisely superimposing images of computer models in three-dimensional space to a corresponding physical object in physical space. The system includes a computer for producing a computer model of a three-dimensional object. A projector means projects an image of the computer model onto the physical object. A spatial transformation accurately maps the computer model onto a projection stage at the projector which projects a formed image in a three-dimensional space onto the physical object in a one-to-one correspondence.
