| 1. A computer program product for facilitating inspection of an object, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable
storage medium having computer-readable program instructions stored therein, the computer-readable program instructions comprising:
a first executable portion for storing a three-dimensional representation of the object;
a second executable portion for determining an orientation of an image-projecting device relative to the object, wherein the
second executable portion is configured to determine the orientation of the image-projecting device by determining misalignment
of at least one target relative to corresponding target projections projected by the image-projecting device, and wherein
the at least one target is in mechanical communication with the object;
a third executable portion for rendering a two-dimensional image from the three-dimensional representation of the object based
upon the orientation of the image-projecting device relative to the object; and
a fourth executable portion for controlling projection of the two-dimensional image upon the object.
