Front Pictures blows our minds with their stunning fusion of technology and projection.

55 Optoma projectors paint with light at Kunstkraftwerk, Leipzig

“When Gianfranco Ianuzzi, the Creator and Artistic Director of the immersion told me, “Never lose a pixel!”, I knew that we had to preserve as many pixels as possible, some parts of the video content are 17000 x 1920 pixels and we were heavily relying on the lens shift feature since the projectors were to be mounted at very steep angles to achieve the maximum projection area.”

Dynamic projection mapping onto deforming non-rigid surface

We realize dynamic projection mapping onto deforming non-rigid surface based on two original technologies. The first technology is a high-speed projector “DynaFlash” that can project 8-bit images up to 1,000 fps with 3 ms delay. The second technology is a high-speed non-rigid surface tracking at 1,000 fps. Since the projection and sensing are operated at a speed of 1,000 fps, a human cannot perceive any misalignment between the dynamically-deforming target and the projected images. Especially, focusing on new paradigms in the field of user interface and fashion, we have demonstrated dynamic projection mapping onto a deformed sheet of paper and T-shirt. Also we show that projection to multiple targets can be controlled flexibly by using our recognition technique.

HAKANAI de Adrien M / Claire B | TEMPS D’IMAGES

Hakanaï est une performance chorégraphique pour une danseuse évoluant dans un volume d’images en mouvement. Dans la langue japonaise, Hakanaï définit ce qui est impermanent, fragile, évanescent, transitoire, entre le rêve et la réalité. Mot très ancien, il évoque une matière insaisissable associée à la condition humaine et à sa précarité, mais associée aussi à la nature. Il s’écrit en conjuguant deux éléments, celui qui désigne l’homme et celui qui désigne le songe. Ce collage symbolique est le point de départ de cette partition pour une danseuse rencontrant des images, faisant naître un espace situé à la frange de l’imaginaire et du réel. Les images sont animées en direct, selon des modèles physiques de mouvement, au rythme d’une création sonore également interprétée en direct. À l’issue du temps de performance, l’installation numérique est ouverte aux spectateurs.

01 Zentrale – Projection Mapping

01 Zentrale – Projection Mapping from Johannes LDC Guerreiro on Vimeo.

The project 01 Zentrale was planned to be ready to install at platine festival 2010 in cologne. http://www.platine-cologne.de/10/?p=71 It was the first time experimenting with Video Projection Mapping on real Objects. It is a pity to film all the stuff, because the real light mapping experience is too impressive in live.
