Great Films Fill Rooms

PlayStation's video store funded these guys to what I believe after watching these videos is to blow people's minds. Yeah the projection mapping used in these videos along with the help of the PlayStation Move controller is one word, insane. 

"In the past, projection mapping worked only from a single, static view point, and thus was very limited. By attaching the PlayStation Move to the camera, we can track projections to screens in real time, enhancing the effects of spatial deformation and false perspective on the projections and allowing viewers to look round (virtual) corners, bend walls, create a hole in the wall, or remove the walls altogether to reveal vast expanses of virtual worlds."

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that there is no SFX, no post production, no cuts and everything that you see is 100% real? If I didn't then the video must have because these videos are just so mind well done.

If you still don't believe that this is all 100% real time, one cut, no SFX, no editing videos... watch the next video.
 
Hate to say I told you so but I'm sure the video did that for me.

Projection Mapping

For this week I decided to post a sequence of projection mapping videos because of some of the things we discussed in class. I think projection mapping is a really interesting and impressive blend of new technologies. Also it can and has been applied to a variety of art forms. Projection is being used as entertainment at fairs and festivals, video, and even musicals/plays are starting to recognize the potential this new form of visual expression possesses. Disney has been using projection technologies for years in their shows and festivals. This is an art form that will become very common place in the US, like it has in Europe already.

This is the first part of a series of projection mapping projects made by a group that has been put up on the PlayStation video store. This is just really incredible and intricate. Augmented reality has interested me for a long time and this is definitely something that can and will be used to create newer and better augmented reality technology.

This is the second of those videos. The rest are on youtube if you're interested.
