The festival Fête des Lumières in Lyon, a festival to honour the Virgin Mary, has recently incorporated 3D mapping in their productions, creating the illusion of a giant pinball machine on the side of a building. Common techniques for these performances include 3D mapping and 3D projection to create the illusion of depth, as well as motion, such as crumbling buildings. It is also being used in technology such as Domes , where it
99-714: A living room and then projected it in the room, creating illusions as if the people interacting with the objects were really there. In 1984 the Stephen Sondheim original Broadway production of Sunday in the Park With George , written and directed by James Lapine , was the first known use of projection mapping in a Broadway musical or play. It was used at the end of Act II, in the Chromolume #7 special effects sequence designed by Bran Ferren to project geometrically-correct moving cinematic images onto
132-585: A means of activism; the group Occupy Wall Street used it to project onto the Verizon Wireless building in New York City as a means to visually spread the word that Occupy Wall Street is still alive. The Japanese theatre play Mysteries of Yoshitsune I&II (2012–14) by Gackt is notable for the first major use of projection mapping in Japanese theatre stage play. Projection mapping
165-411: A means of technological advancement. After the object which will be projected on is chosen or created, software is used to map the corners of the video to the surfaces. First, one must choose the images or video to project. Each video is then placed on its designated surface. Alternatively, one may map the entire scene in 3D and attempt to project and mask the image back onto its framework. The next step
198-479: 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. The video is commonly combined with or triggered by audio to create an audiovisual narrative. In recent years the technique has also been widely used in the context of cultural heritage, as it has proved to be an excellent edutainment tool. Although
231-421: Is masking, using opacity templates to actually "mask" the exact shapes and positions of the different elements of the building or space of projection. In 3D mapping, coordinates are defined for where the object is placed in relation to the projector. The projector's XYZ orientation, position, and lens specification result in a determined virtual scene. Adjustments are commonly made by manually adjusting either

297-436: 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
330-459: Is combined with virtual reality and augmented reality to create 360-degree projections for a more immersive experience. The use of projection mapping in TV and films is becoming more popular. For the science-fiction film Oblivion (2013), the filmmakers used projection mapping to create an immersive environment. For a 2016 TV commercial, Audi used projection mapping to showcase the technology of
363-646: Is frequently used by Walt Disney Imagineering and Walt Disney Creative Entertainment in the Disney Parks . Examples include The Magic, the Memories and You , Disney Dreams! , Celebrate the Magic , Once Upon a Time , Disneyland Forever , Halloween Screams , Believe... In Holiday Magic , Remember...

#1732771856479396-408: Is new technology that can turn their creative ideas into 3D projections, connecting with audiences in a new way. Video projections have appeared in urban centres such as New York City and London, where artists have used guerilla projections in public without any necessary approval. This way, artists can show their work in any location as anything and anywhere can be a canvas. Often people also use it as
429-966: Is used for most large projection-mapping shows, and requires skill and patience to be set up with specialised software. For smaller productions, smaller, lower-output projectors are sufficient. In most cases, a 2200-lumen projector is adequate for projections under indoor light or theatrical lighting. Video mapping software can be used in projects like these, though Adobe Photoshop , Adobe After Effects and other packages can also be used by creative artists. Extensible open-source software frameworks are also available. Projection mapping can be separated into four categories: Projection mapping first came to prominence through guerrilla advertising campaigns and video jockeys for electronic musicians. Large companies such as Nokia, Samsung, Unilever Pakistan, Pakistan Tobacco company, Bank Alfalah, Brighto Paints, Benson & Hedges, John Players Gold Leaf and BMW have since used video projections in marketing campaigns in cities across
462-782: The Audi Q7 car. The ad, "Projection of Greatness", was filmed with no CGI and used only content that was caught live in camera. In the electronic dance music (EDM) community, it is becoming increasingly common for DJs to accompany their music with synced visuals, which can be either prerecorded or played live by a video jockey (VJ). Though normal projection screens are commonly used, some visual artists create special 3D installations to project onto. Many EDM artists employ projection mapping techniques. Visual artists also use projection mapping for creative expression, sometimes to enhance existing creative media such as painting and drawing. Artists may use it as an avant garde form of expression as it

To facilitate education, the museum was renovated in 1994 and
594-513: The busts appear animated. Another early example of projection mapping was in the 1967 TV movie Magical Mystery Tour during the Blue Jay Way scene, where images were projected onto George Harrison , including a cat's face and a headless male torso with the words "Magical Mystical Boy" written on its chest. The next record of projection mapping is from 1980, when installation artist Michael Naimark filmed people interacting with objects in

In the late 1960s, audiences referred to projection mapping as, "the Madame Leota effect, " based on the use of the technique in Disney's Haunted Mansion. Disneyland debuted a projection effect in 1969, when they opened their Haunted Mansion attraction, which featured singing three-dimensional busts. The singers' faces were filmed on 16mm film and projected onto busts of their faces to make
792-445: The physical or virtual scene for best results. Large projectors with 20,000 lumens output or greater are used for large-scale projections such as on city skyscrapers. Due to the scale and brightness some projects require, often large arrays of powerful projectors are combined into a single image through a method known as "edge blending" or "stacking". The result is a much brighter projection that maintains its seamless look. This technique
825-480: The surface of the 4' diameter sphere topping the Chromolume device. Due to the brightness limitations of video projection at the time, the images were projected using 7000w xenon-illuminated 35mm motion picture film (at 48 frames per second). The film's images were digitally pre-distorted to map correctly onto the sphere from the high projection angle in the Booth theater. The first time the concept of projection mapping
858-412: The term "projection mapping" is relatively new, the technique dates back to the mid-20th century. Josef Svoboda, a Czech scenographer, debuted Lanterna Magika at Expo 58, the 1958 Brussels World Fair. Lanterna Magika was a live performance that featured singers, dancers, and musicians performing against a backdrop of projected film footage. Günther Schneider-Siemssen was a German set designer, who coined
