External Project

I came across this website www.awidernet.com which explains and shows different techniques for project mapping. On the website it displays information about projection callibration, light installation, experimental film and advertising.

Projector callibration

It states on this website that 'Johnny Chung Lee’s Automatic Projector Calibration thesis work focused on fitting a projected image perfectly onto a moveable target without distorting the image. He accomplished this by embedding light sensors into portable displays to allow the projector’s calibration cycle to recognize the boundaries of the display.'

Light Installation

On the website it also mentions that 'Projection mapping in installations has the unique advantage that the geometry of the space can be precisely controlled and mapped to. Using projectors to project colored light onto white surfaces in a dark room can have a tremendous impact. When every angle and every corner has been mapped, light installations have the ability to transform every surface of complex objects into video displays. A great example of this is Envision – Step into the sensory box.'

Experimental Film

It states on this website that 'Projection mapping has started to make its way into the realm of experimental film as well. The ability to map stunning video to complex objects and capture all of the rich reflections is something that would be nearly impossible in post-processing. Also, projecting light on objects frees the camera to capture any angle, which is awesome. Take a look at Xavier Cassaing’s, experimental film using still photographs, stop motion and live projection mapping techniques. The orchid petals, stockings, and mantle are all mapped. The effect is mesmerizing.'

Advertising

It also mentions on the website that 'No projection technique would be complete without a solid example of its marketing/advertising implementation. Mini led the way with its Augmented Reality car on the back of a magazine a few years back. They demonstrate their consistency in staying ahead of the curve with their projection mapping advertisement.'
