■ Projection Mapping

Projection Mapping is a new visual technology projecting movies to many kinds of objects by using video projectors. It creates effects of spatial art by changing or moving the objects with visual illusion. Projection Mapping has adopted at many scenes, such as opening ceremony of Olympic, International Exposition, or many theme parks in the world. This eye-catching technology is also used in fashion shows as to attract customers.
There was not much information about Projection Mapping since it is a brand new technology when we started to study it. Therefore, we have attended a special lecture or event of Projection Mapping and learned about it. We try to use those techniques to create a new world of virtual arts.

■ Points of our effort

■ To project movie at the exact place

■ To project a movie made by 3DCG (Maya) to an object 

■ To express a stereoscopic effect of still objects

■ To create smooth and visceral expression with continuing movies

■　To draw public attention by connecting huge eye-caching movie contents and mass media or word-of –mouth communication

① A self controlled system by one PC【Matching with music】
② A beautiful big screen without roughness【Quality of a clear picture】
③ A free arrangement of a screen【Arena，AfterEffect，Maya，Flash】
④ To be able to project many things
　【Buildings, three-dimensional objects, stages, events planning】
⑤ To control timing of projecting a movie【Matching by Resolume】
