This project is on improving the performance of the micromirror based laser projection indicator technology, which was developed in the original NSERC Engage program. It is a continuation of the original NSERC Engage program. Kangaroo Design Inc. has an availability indicator product, "MyFocus", for increasing productivity in collaborative work environments. "MyFocus" indicator faces the wiring problem, e.g., the installation of each indicator requires a few meters wire to connect the indicator to the toggle and power source. The wiring problem has been a big barrier for broad market acceptance of the MyFocus product. In the original NSERC Engage grant, our team developed a micromirror based laser projection availability indicator technology, with which a dynamic laser pattern is generated and projected to a remote translucent film (> 1 m away) to indicate the availability without any wire connection. Thus it well solved the wiring problem plaguing the product of MyFocus. Kangaroo Design Inc. is very satisfied with the NSERC Engage program. While the new availability indicator technology successfully developed in the original NSERC Engage will replace the company's old LED based indicator, the application of this new technology to occasions where the computers are very close (as close as 0.5 m) to the cubicle wall or door window would be useful in further expanding MyFocus' market. Since the indicator technology was designed for projection distances > 1 m, the projected laser pattern (with a size of 3 cm or bigger for optimal visibility) would reduce to be less than 3 cm in size in short distance applications (e.g., laser pattern size becomes 1.5 cm for a projection distance of 0.5 m). The objective of this NSERC Engage Plus program is to improve the performance of the micromirror based laser projection indicator technology to widen its projection distance range from > 1 m to > 0.5 m, such that this technology will be suitable for applications of short distance between computers and cubicle walls or door windows.

该项目致力于提高基于微镜的激光投影指示器技术的性能， 它是在最初的 NSERC Engage 计划中开发的。它是原 NSERC 的延续 参与计划。 Kangaroo Design Inc. 有一个可用性指标产品“MyFocus”，用于提高 协作工作环境中的生产力。 “MyFocus”指示灯面临接线问题，例如 每个指示器的安装需要几米电线将指示器连接到开关和电源 来源。布线问题一直是 MyFocus 产品获得广泛市场接受的一大障碍。在 原始 NSERC Engage 拨款，我们的团队开发了基于微镜的激光投影可用性指示器 技术，利用该技术生成动态激光图案并将其投影到远程半透明薄膜（> 1 m 离开）来指示可用性，无需任何有线连接。从而很好的解决了困扰的布线问题 MyFocus 的产品。 Kangaroo Design Inc. 对 NSERC Engage 计划非常满意。虽然 原 NSERC Engage 成功开发的新可用性指标技术将取代 公司旧有的基于LED的指示灯，将这种新技术应用到计算机需要使用的场合 距离隔间墙或门窗非常近（近至 0.5 m），有利于进一步扩展 MyFocus 的市场。由于指示器技术是为投影距离 > 1 m 设计的，因此投影 激光图案（尺寸为 3 厘米或更大以获得最佳可见度）将减小到小于 3 厘米 短距离应用（例如，对于 0.5 m 的投影距离，激光图案尺寸变为 1.5 cm）。这 NSERC Engage Plus 计划的目标是提高基于微镜的激光器的性能 投影指示器技术将其投影距离范围从 > 1 m 扩大到 > 0.5 m，这样 该技术将适用于计算机与隔间墙壁或门之间距离较短的应用 视窗。
