Without any texture it's practically impossible to locate and track any feature points on the wall. Most vision algorithms use "corners" (feature points) that can be matched/tracked.

A way to get around that is to use an infrared setup like the kinect to project a pattern onto object, but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't work if both the projector and the object are moving.

No, it works for moving projectors as long as the camera is moving as well.

since you could assume that the projector is standing still and everything else is moving, the same should be true for the inverse and all points inbetween.
