Live events
Projection mappings allow organizers to bring extra stopping power to all kinds of events: concert tours, festivals, and even fashion shows.
What is projection mapping?
What if you could bring even the most irregularly shaped objects to life? Projection mapping is a 3D video projection technique using light and colors to project virtual images on irregular shapes and non-flat surfaces like industrial sites, public buildings, city landmarks... Turning common objects into dynamic attention grabbing stages.
It's technological magic - magical technology.
Why 3D projection mappings?
Museums
There's a recent trend towards large-scale projection mappings inside buildings or industrial landscapes as part of unique digital art exhibitions.
Theme parks
The use of 3D mapping and augmented reality projections is also growing in the design of dark rides. Engaging visitors with interactive adventures & immersive experiences.
Cities
Boost tourism with mappings on iconic landmarks. Or trigger locals to rediscover the beauty of their city by shining a light on forgotten places.

Frequently asked questions
Projection mapping is the key to strong storytelling, innovative marketing and just all-round entertainment. However, it does require skills and deliberate planning to create the visual feast you envision. Here's what to keep in mind.
3D imaging naturally adds some extra challenges to the projection. The surfaces of 3D objects can vary in form, color, structure, etc. It’s important to keep these things in mind throughout the process to make sure your projection mapping is eye-catching. Find out more about what elements you need to consider before building a projection mapping system.
Virtual Reality systems use either VR head mount devices (HMDs) or multi-projected environments to generate realistic images in a virtual environment. Where do these two solutions differ? We’ll compare the immersive, ergonomic and interactive aspect of both tools to determine the pros and cons for business applications in this blog post.
Until recently, the projection mapping sector had been following a pretty linear path of one-off projections onto buildings at tourist locations or for seasonal or commercial promotions. But lately, more diverse applications have emerged as major drivers. This has changed the business models that are available. Read more about the ins and outs of these mappings?
