| Title: |
System and Method for Imagination Park Tree Projection |
| Abstract: |
There is provided a system and method for multiple sided video projection
mapping on arbitrarily shaped objects. By using the same shape data to
manufacture the object and to configure the projection mapping onto the
object, stray light, reflections, and other distortions can be reduced or
eliminated. By constructing the object using a non-opaque layer and a
projection coating layer, video content projected onto the object can be
seen on multiple sides. Thus, the number of projectors required for
multi-sided viewing can be reduced, simplifying deployment and reducing
costs. The invention may be of particular use for retail spaces or other
public venues where display of image or video content for information,
entertainment, or atmosphere enhancement is desirable.
