WHAT IS 3D VIDEO MAPPING AND PROJECTION MAPPING?

The projection mapping also known as video mapping term is referred to the act when standard and high performance video projectors are mapping 3D images onto objects like buildings, cars, walls, and projection mapping canvas or any other surfaces.

Video projection technique uses video projectors but instead of projecting onto a common flat surface, the image or creative design is projected to real objects. Unlike traditional projections where the image is distorted on the 3D screen, it is set so that the projection looks as if it were a part of the object. This lets users to take a simple object and transform it into a projection screen for progressive displays creating virtual reality.

You might find the terms like VR or augmented reality futuristic but all of us need to accept that these technical solutions are the massive part of our life. The usage of video projection mapping technology is widespread and quickly growing.

During the process of building projection mapping our team carefully analyses the architecture design to maximize the creative usability of visual solutions. After the necessary negotiations, Freelusion professionals start to produce motion graphics designs. There are no limits here. We have 12 full-timer graphic artists in our crew, we have uniquely developed graphical and projection software and state-of-the-art high-tech equipment to deliver the best quality service in multimedia light projections on building.

SHORT HISTORY OF BUILDING PROJECTION MAPPING

Despite the fact that the term projection mapping is quite fresh, its technique is known from the late 1990s, where it was touched on the spatial augmented reality. We know that one of the first public displays of video projections onto 3D objects was in 1969. It was the time when Disneyland opened Haunted Mansion ride, where the busts were singing. On the face of the busts animations were projected. Today it sounds weird but the first time when building or instead wall projection mapping used academically was at the University of North Carolina in the 1990s, where a group led by Ramesh Raskar worked on a project, called Office of the Future. They projected virtually people into other office’s space as if they were really there.By 2001, artists started using projection mapping for artistic reasons.

Artists may use it as an experimental form of expression. Their creative and magical ideas can be turn into live by 3D projections on building and surfaces and connecting with audiences in a new way. Video projections have appeared in big artistic centers such as New York City and London, where artists have worked with guerilla projections in public. Since then canvas are everywhere where artists can show their work by this innovative and new way of technique.

Industry did not need to wait much time, companies such as Microsoft began experimenting and improving the possibility of usage of projection mapping technological advancement.
