What can projection mapping be used for?
Projection mapping can be used for advertising, live concerts, theater, gaming, computing, decoration and anything else you can think of. Specialized software or just some elbow grease can be used to align the virtual content and the physical objects. For more information see our Software sections.

What are the types of projection mapping?

Mapping is done in two steps:
- First, you need to know where things are, mainly the streets and ways.
- Then you need to know what there is, namely the POIs, street names and types. You can do these one after another, or both at the same time, but you can hardly do the what before the where.
What kind of projector do I need for projection mapping?
For clear results, we recommend you use images and a video projector that has a resolution of at least 720p (HD). You should also note that, regardless of the resolution, non-smooth surfaces can make pixels look bigger and, thus, more visible.
What are the 4 common map projections?
Introduction
| Projection | Type | Key virtues |
|---|---|---|
| Stereographic | azimuthal | conformal |
| Lambert Conformal Conic | conic | conformal |
| Mercator | cylindrical | conformal and true direction |
| Robinson | pseudo-cylindrical | all attributes are distorted to create a ‘more pleasant’ appearance |
