What are some common applications of projection mapping?

Some common applications for projection mapping include projecting onto buildings, statues, theatre productions, theme parks, museums, concerts, art installations, and playing surfaces at sporting events. With Christie^® projection mapping solutions, almost any surface can be masked with dynamic visuals.

What are some of the challenges of projection mapping?

Projection mapping shows are complex projects that involve challenges such as audience size and location, ambient and site conditions, approvals, and AV budgets. Partnering with a manufacturer, staging company, or integrator with proven expertise helps streamline the entire process and mitigate risks.

Another challenge is developing content and visuals that tell a story and fit into the environment. For permanent installations, having a long-term content strategy is key to keeping the installation fresh and engaging for your audience.

What are some common environmental factors that can affect projection mapping?

Weather is one of the biggest environmental factors for outdoor projection mapping shows. For example, rain can make a light surface darker and mute colors in your projection. You also need to consider wind, temperatures, and moisture. For both outdoor and indoor projection mapping shows, you need to consider things like the amount of ambient light, distance from the projection surface, and if there are any obstructions to overcome.
