The unique qualities of the TI DLP devices have enabled a number of interesting applications. The DLP is essentially a fast binary light modulator and using the power of modern graphics processors these devices can be driven with images computed on the fly at rates of several thousand frames per second. A number of these applications have been developed by the University of Southern California where fast light is exploited to create a light field display. In another application, fast light is coupled with a synchronized high speed camera to extract the 3D shape of an object in real time.
