They are into Christmas in a BIG way in New Taipei, judging by the massive projection mapping and lighting spectacle staged for the holiday season in the Taiwan city. […]
Here’s a video of that projection mapping job done on Toronto’s historic Casa Loma, a castle-like private home turned attraction and event center. It was mapped for a Halloween event run over several weeks. […]
Christie introduced a product called Christie Mystique earlier this year that was built around the concept of making projection mapping jobs far easier to dream up, visualize and execute. […]
We’ve seen lots of great example of projection mapping on grand scales – on buildings and monuments – but nowhere nears as many that go indoors and use small, much more intimate settings to play with visuals. Here’s a great one, though, from the 2016 launch party this summer of the latest version of Repsol, a much-known and referenced travel guide. […]
There was a time, not long ago, when projection mapping was an intensely complicated, labour-intensive art form only high technical, deeply experienced pros could pull off. Now it’s a $5 app for iOS or Android. Well, sorta. […]
The big problem with projection mapping – apart from high costs and weather – was for quite some the technical challenge of aligning the projector or blended projectors precisely to a target projection surface. It got harder if the surface wasn’t flat. Software has fixed a lot of that, particularly projection-mapping software coming from companies like Christie. […]
The Toronto landmark Case Loma, a Gothic Revival-style house that looks like it could be used for a Canadian version of Downton Abbey, has been transformed this month as a projection mapping surface for a Halloween attraction. […]
Here’s an interesting way to get around a city’s billboard advertising laws – use projection and make the windows of rented commercial space the billboard. That’s what Citibank has done at its high profile branch on Faria Lima Avenue in São Paulo, Brazil. […]
This looks kind of amazing – 12 football fields worth of digital visuals on LED and projection in the new Meraas City Walk market in Dubai. Overall, the Meraas project involves more than 30 LED installations in 21 different formats and nearly 30 high-res projectors totalling over 80 million pixels. It’s easily one of the most ambitious digital installs done to date, globally. […]
Projectors with laser light engines have been around the cinema space for a while now, but the technology is now starting to find its way into other commercial applications – including indoor signage and indoor projection mapping. NEC has introduced a single-chip DLP 8,000-lumen laser projector it says is the first of its kind in this market category. […]
The arts quarter of the amazing city of Montreal has been a visual treat for a few years, owing to various temporary and permanent installations that use lighting and projection. But that gets amped up starting tonight, with a program that runs through the end of January. […]
Via Av Magazine Here’s an interesting spin on projection mapping, that addresses what to do about the marketing investment when the sun is up. In this case, two traditional billboards facing each other across a square in Milan have static messaging by day and motion by night, the billboards lit up by long throw projector lenses flanking the billboards. […]
Hat tip to DailyDOOH, as I missed this one when the release came out … Here is a terrific example of what can be done with projection mapping INSIDE a room with controlled lighting conditions – the ceiling on Union Station in St. Louis, MO. […]
Via AV Interactive This is one BIG projection mapping projected – described as a world record for this kind of tech. The 370-metre facade of the Ministry of Defence in Moscow was bathed in light from 142 digital projectors across six towers. For the metric impaired, that’s roughly four football fields wide. […]
So much has happened on the software and computing side of the digital signage business in recent years that I think we tend to overlook how much has also happened on the display side. When I got into this business 16 years ago LCD panels were small and crazily expensive, and the big flat panels were $10,000 40-inch plasma displays that weighed roughly as much as oil tankers. […]
