Mad Mapper about

MadMapper can produce delicate yet free and powerful visual effects in various locations, large and small, such as theme parks, event venues, historic buildings, and land art, without compromising existing three-dimensional objects. , A state-of-the-art application for "projection mapping".Designed for artists, it can be used for various productions.

* Reference: What is Projection Mapping?

It is a technology that uses a projection device such as a projector to project an image of an uneven building or stage (three-dimensional object) on a screen.Unlike a flat screen like a movie, each side of the three-dimensional object to which it is projected replaces the screen.Projection mapping has no restrictions on the shape or size of the projection destination, and is created with an awareness of what kind of image is assigned to which side of the three-dimensional object (mapping).It is highly entertaining because it is highly creative and flexible, and it can produce impressive and delicate scenes.

* Reference: Example of work using Mad Mapper "Le Petit Chef"

Speaking of projection mapping, there may be a projection image on a relatively large area such as a building or a wall.Introducing Skull Mapping's dining show "Le Petit Chef" is an innovative production of small chefs working, as the French word for "small chef" means. Project mapping.

Unlike a huge screen, you can think of a restaurant table, plate, glass, etc. as a projection screen, and you can see a small chef working lightly and cheerfully up close.
Combined with a sophisticated story and uniqueness, it became a hot topic with high praise so that customers could tell that "waiting time is not spared!".

Two Panasonic PT-VZ2U projectors and MadMapper are used here (as of the time of the article on EssentialINSTALL.com).
