Projection Mapping is a technology that transforms objects, often irregularly shaped, into a display surface for video projection. Unlike XR, VR, and AR, which typically involve personal devices like headsets or smartphones to create immersive experiences, projection mapping uses projectors to display images onto physical surfaces, such as buildings, stages, or even small objects. This technique can create dynamic visual effects that interact with the physical form of the object, making it appear as though the object itself is animated or transformed.
The Sphere in Vegas and Cosm in Inglewood are examples of popular 360 Dome projection mapped attractions. MichelleLynn assisted in the production and delivery of similar work for Wisdome.LA, a predecessor to both experiences in 2019. Projection mapping is often used in art installations, concerts, and advertising to create visually stunning experiences that enhance the real-world environment without the need for personal viewing devices..
