The plug in cost won’t be the issue: the cost of robotic arms moving the projectors around in realtime will be. Tech like this though,makes it easier as time goes by to map new actors’ facial performances onto a stand-in’s face. Fist, in post production alone, but not too long from now, live on stage, as “digital makeup”.

The subject was, of course, a joke. I have now added a smiley face.

The projector is static. The content is dynamically manipulated to look correct from one camera/viewer’s perspective when projected.

Unless the robots are moving the screens…..
BTW, I would REALLY like to wear projection mapping when I go out n’ about.

Fair… but are you suggesting the talent was a robot? This video just keeps getting cooler!

No, the video I linked had robots.
You can never have enough robots. I don’t care what the Wachowski Bros. think. More robots, ma!

I know, I design a couple of projection mapping projects every year. I was attempting humor. I failed to append the smiley.
Box was a phenomenally cool project. I wish I had seen it live. Not just the technology, but really great art direction.
Have you seen the behind-the-scenes they did?

Yes, NOW it is…. in the future, though, I can imagine an overlay composited onto the live face in real time.

The future is now, or very close to it.
I was just saying you can do it all by dynamically manipulating the content — no need to move the projector for the illusion to work.

What primary app do you use for the mapping? How’s the prepro time?
