Projection mapping, similar to video mapping and spatial augmented reality, is a projection technique used to turn objects, often irregularly shaped, into display surfaces for video projection. The objects may be complex industrial landscapes, such as buildings, small indoor objects, or theatrical stages. Using specialized software, a two- or three-dimensional object is spatially mapped on the virtual program which mimics the real environment it is to be projected on. The software can then interact with a projector to fit any desired image onto the surface of that object.The technique is used by artists and advertisers who can add extra dimensions, optical illusions, and notions of movement onto previously static objects.
Welcome
Best Projectors for Projection Mapping
- Top-notch projectors for mapping
- Bright, clear, and vivid imaging
- Effective for outdoor and indoor setups
Projection Mapping uses everyday video projectors, but instead of projecting on a flat screen (e.g. to display a PowerPoint), light is mapped onto any surface, turning common objects of any 3D shape into interactive displays. More formally, projection mapping is “the display of an image on a non-flat or non-white surface”
Where do you do projection mapping?
So far we’ve stated the importance of differentiating 2D from 3D mapping. In the same regard, projection mapping surfaces are infinitely varied. They range from the façade of a monument to an architectural detail, from a stage set to a small object or a simple wall… Geometric accessories are also an excellent option to easily obtain a strong visual impact.
All elements of reality can be transformed and metamorphosed by this virtual technology. This technique goes further than light design thanks to softwares that allows creating trompe-l’oeil in motion, spectacular optical illusions and 360° projections!
Projection mapping is the possibility of designing surprising graphic and visual environments that bring the public into an immersive atmosphere to live an experience of mutating reality… towards another reality!
