Hands-On with Lightform Projection Mapping!

Projection mapping is one of the coolest visual technologies that so far has been out of reach for consumers. Lightform is hoping to change that with its projector-mounted scanner and software. We get our hands on the Lightform device to see how it maps objects and environments in front of it–like a replica movie prop–and go through the software to learn how to create striking augmented visuals on top of the real world.

One thought on “Hands-On with Lightform Projection Mapping!

  1. Really clever use of technology there. Makes me wish I had a projector! I’d like to have seen some pseudo 3D effects on the projections, like raised textures and indents, by calculating where the current light source(s) are in a scene and using that to render ‘light and shade’ (well, light and less light).
