Illuminating English Letters Using a Flying Light Speck
arXiv:2606.22592 · doi:10.1145/3728482.3757388
Abstract
This paper presents the design and implementation of a Flying Light Speck (FLS) to illuminate English letters. The FLS uses its onboard camera and computing to localize and follow a trajectory to illuminate a letter. We evaluate the illuminations quantitatively and qualitatively. The latter is based on an IRB approved human subject study with 20 participants. The obtained results show a 42 to 56 millimeter error that impacts the detection of letters. A key finding is that the order in which the illumination of letters is presented to subjects has a significant effect on detection duration.
