Projection Mapping
Create Magic with Advanced Projections
Projection mapping is a groundbreaking technique that redefines how we view and experience projected imagery. Instead of simply projecting an image onto a flat surface, such as a screen or a wall, projection mapping treats a three-dimensional surface as its “canvas.” This can include buildings, statues, cars, or even natural formations. Using specialized software and advanced projectors, we can precisely map an image onto uneven surfaces to create the illusion of movement, transformation, and depth.
Projectors that Create Experiences
As a leading provider of high-quality projection mapping technology, Centas helps you create stunning visual experiences for events, concerts, exhibitions, and marketing campaigns. With projection mapping, we can produce spectacular light shows on buildings or transform unexpected surfaces into works of art – visual experiences that truly command attention.
How Does Projection Mapping Work?
Projection mapping is the process of projecting digital images, animations, or videos onto three dimensional surfaces to create illusions or artworks that follow the object’s exact shape and contour. By utilizing projectors and software that precisely align the projected content with the surface, static objects are transformed into dynamic, living experiences.
What makes projection mapping so remarkable is its ability to create the optical illusion of a surface changing or moving. A building can appear to “collapse” or “melt,” a statue can “come to life,” or an entire town square can be transformed into a 3D stage – all through the magic of projection.
What Is Required for a Successful Mapping?
Scanning the Surface
Success in projection mapping requires both the right equipment and a meticulous process. First, we scan the surface where the projection will appear. This is typically done using 3D modeling tools to ensure the digital content can be tailored exactly to the geometry of the surface.
Once all dimensions are captured, we develop digital images or animations specifically designed to fit the object perfectly, ensuring the visual effect looks natural and immersive.
Placement and Calibration
Projectors are strategically positioned around the object and carefully calibrated. For complex surfaces, multiple projectors are used to cover every angle and architectural detail. The final adjustments are made live during the setup, where we fine-tune brightness, contrast, and color balance to ensure the visuals are as sharp and vibrant as possible.
Projection Mapping is All in the Details
When it comes to projection mapping, the details determine the quality of the experience. To achieve a result that truly impresses, you need a partner with proven expertise. With extensive experience – including our highly acclaimed work on the Imagine Monet exhibition at Artipelag – Centas has the know-how to deliver world-class results for our clients.
Why Choose Projection Mapping?
Beyond creating a spectacular visual show, projection mapping offers the element of surprise. By utilizing surfaces that people pass every day but rarely notice, you can create a “wow factor” that captures interest and leaves a lasting impression. The greatest advantage is the flexibility; only your imagination limits which surfaces can be used for a projection
