The present invention relates to an enhanced perception lighting (EPL)
system for providing enhanced perception of a user's physical
environment. The EPL system comprises a sensor module for detecting and
sampling a physical aspect from at least one point in a physical
environment and for generating an observation signal based on the
physical aspect; a processor module coupled with the sensor module for
receiving the observation signal, processing the observation signal, and
generating an output signal based on the observation signal; and a
projection display module located proximate the sensor module and
communicatively connected with the processor module for projecting a
display onto the at least one point in the physical environment based
upon the output signal. The system allows a user to gather information
from the physical environment and project that information onto the
physical environment to provide the user with an enhanced perception of
the physical environment.
