Projection Mapping? We have some short throw projectors

@Coul I think this makes for something really awesome … perhaps some projection mapping

Links broke.

I am actually testing projection mapping with a short throw projector and light form right now.

I think I may have fixed the link

Link works fine here … I tried it another browser

I’m able to view it so it looks like he has the link fixed.

Always worked for me, but it’s basically pointing to this: https://coub.com/view/1njmz9

works on my phone not on work computer, I blame work.

That projection mapping is simple enough with a photo and AE. You can use a grid pattern to project onto the surface you want to map and take a photo of it. Import the photo as the composition in AE and add your effects/videos then encode and export to media player connected to projector. As long as you didn’t move the projector it should line up.

Quick and dirty version. This is using a DLP short throw projector and only projecting on the top half of the door. From what I have found a laser projector produces zero bleed creating a much better look.

This took about an hour to do just the video that is being controlled by an OSC app on my phone.
