Filip Sterckx’s Gallery Invasion is a clever, kooky, and totally adorable art show that brings art works to life through projection mapping. It’s like those Night at the Museum movies but with drawings deciding to jump out of their canvas and play rough with each other all over the gallery instead of museum exhibits…
Here’s a really cool music video that uses 3D printing, stop-motion animation, and projection mapping to make a model come alive to sing a song. It’s a especially trippy, because it’s like seeing a statue start talking out of nowhere.
Table tennis is a hard game that requires quick instincts and even quicker reflexes. But what if you had some help? Like, what if the table could tell you what to do? This ‘smart’ ping pong table shows you where to serve, tracks each shot you take, and gives you oodles of data on your game. It’s a clever projection…
Here’s a really cool art project that transformed Kat Von D into a living sculpture that’s constantly changing. The effects were done with facial recognition software and live projection mapping and it’s always so impressive how quickly the technology adapts and creates art. Some if it is really beautiful, some of it…
The Sydney Opera House is as iconic a building there is in this world so it’s always stunning to see it come alive as a canvas for artists to display their animation on. 20 different animation studios teamed up to transform the Sydney Opera House into a living mural that is just so enjoyable to watch. The colors, the…
The organisms in this forest aren't bioluminescent, but they look that way thanks to the lights projected onto plants, fungi, and animals. It evokes the glowing world of James Cameron's Avatar for a fraction of the budget.
I'm both completely terrified and absolutely impressed by this amazing real-time face tracking and 3D projection mapping system that can digitally impose masks onto people's faces. It works amazingly well, like their faces have been completely replaced with new ones.
What if your dining room table could show you when your coffee or cocoa is too hot to drink? That could be a reality today: hacker Ken Kawamoto shows us how with a technique called thermal projection mapping.
My, this is beautiful. Artists Friedrich van Schoor and Tarek Mawad teamed up in this projection map installation to create a 'bioluminescent forest'. The entire forest glows with light, from the mushrooms to the trees to the leaves to the grounds to the insects. The darkness is transformed into a magical place.
It doesn't come as much of a surprise that Disney has a whole division at its theme parks dedicated to making fairy tale weddings a reality. But what is surprising is the awesome technology those wedding planners have at their disposal, like wonderful projection-mapped cakes that make it look as if the frosting is…
Nobumichi Asai has used projection mapping to put CGI onto cars, docks, building and more. His latest canvas? A real, live human face.
There hasn't been much innovation in the world of juggling since the chainsaw was invented. But thanks to the work of Hiroaki Yamaguchi and Hideki Koike, who created a real-time tracking and projection system that can bring balls to life, busking is about to get interesting again.
There's endless Super Bowl hoopla happening in New York right now, what with the big game just days away. But you might miss one of the coolest if you don't look up: The projection-mapping specialists Moment Factory have turned the grand Herald Square facade of Macy's into an orgy of light. It's incredible. Here's…
These boxes aren't real. They're made of light, created with a technique called projection mapping, which uses projectors and perspective-corrected graphics to create the illusion of alternate dimensions in real life. The best example I've ever seen, by far.
This is what you get when you combine robotics, the projection-mapping of 3D computer graphics, and an actor all working together in perfect synchronization. It's a five-minute short film called "The Box" — and it's nothing short of revolutionary.
Forget celebrity endorsements or extreme action footage, if you're a footwear designer who really wants shoppers to buy your sneakers, take some inspiration from Craig Winslow's marvellous projection mapping exhibit. Instead of just sitting on a shelf, the shoes come to life with animations and a series of wild…
Pool is a fun game, but with just some colored balls on a plain green field, the spectacle is a little lacking. We've already seen how some clever projection can turn anyone into a pool shark, but now OpenPool is taking it a step further by turning pool into a psychedelic rave of a game.
For hilarious and sadistic kicks, German designer Friedrich van Schoor created this projection mapping installation of an entire building story occupied by two automobile-sized spiders. Oh, to be a fly on the wall confused passerby when these eight-legged monsters began scampering.
Wroclaw's Centennial Hall was built so long ago, Wroclaw wasn't even part of Poland. But the super-minimal concrete mega-dome was ahead of its time way back in 1913, and with a little 2012 tech, it turns into a pulsating starship.
The projection mapping artists at the Macula Project have done something incredible with this baroque chapel in the Czech town of Olomouc. By using interactive light technology, they converted the church's interior into a massive musical instrument that can be manipulated by laser-pointer-wielding visitors.
