Patent Number: 8979281 
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.
