e-book projection mapping: "Challenges when dealing with millions of pixels"

Projection mapping is a video projection technique that creates the optical illusion of 3D effects on an object or building. The artistic play with light transforms virtually any surface into an immersive canvas that captivates large audiences. It is the key to strong storytelling, innovative marketing and just all-round entertainment. However, it does require skills and deliberate planning to create the memorable experience you envision.

If projection mapping is something you want to know more about, then we’ve got a brand-new e-book for you!

“Challenges when dealing with millions of pixels” looks at the history of this powerful projection technique, but also highlights the technological requirements of a mapping project. It explores the different steps that lead up to the ultimate visual feast, from idea to stage, and shows what a typical mapping set-up looks like.

And to conclude, the e-book also dives deeper into the projection requirements for 3D mappings with details, insights and guidance on brightness levels, resolution, color gamut and processing.
