How Projection Mapping Elevates Experiences

Have you ever watched a seemingly ordinary wall transform into a dynamic storytelling canvas?

This effect is fascinating, and projection mapping projectors achieve it. They are revolutionary tools at the forefront of digital technology.

At Ascend, we specialize in using this tool to create memorable experiences that affect audiences.

The Science and Art Behind Projection Mapping

Projection mapping transcends traditional image display on flat screens.

This technology uses specialized projection mapping software. It employs complex techniques to map light onto surfaces to transform them into interactive displays.

Advanced algorithms calculate the light’s distance and angle. This allows for precise projection of irregular shapes.

This creates dynamic illusions of depth and animation. It makes static objects appear to move and evolve, a clear example of spatial mapping in action.

How Projection Mapping Elevates Experiences

The beauty of projection mapping projectors is their ability to merge digital art with real-world elements, a blend that captivates all senses.

This is not only about projecting images; it’s about transforming spaces into environments that tell stories.

From architectural projections that turn buildings into historical narratives to multimedia displays at concerts syncing visuals with music, the projection mapping applications are as boundless as they are stunning.

Diverse Applications Across Industries

Projection mapping is versatile, adapting to various settings, including:

Theatres. Improving stage designs with backgrounds that change in real time.
Museums and educational settings. It brings exhibits to life and helps students and visitors see complex ideas in 3D projection format.
Advertising and corporate events. Creating immersive experiences that boost brand engagement through unforgettable visual storytelling.

Interactive and Educational

Beyond entertainment, projection mapping projectors also serve as powerful educational tools.

They have the ability to make learning interactive and fun. They help educators explain complex topics using engaging 3D projection.

This aspect of projection technology makes learning more intuitive and impactful, fostering a deeper understanding through visual storytelling.

The Future of Projection Mapping

As interactive technology advances, so too do the capabilities of projection mapping.

Recent developments include real-time interaction. In this, projections respond to people’s movements or actions, allowing for interactive experiences.

The future points toward more integration with AI and IoT, which will lead to smarter, more responsive spaces.

Featured Project

Burns McDonnell, EPIC LED Video Wall

Designing the Ultimate 360 EPIC LED Video Wall Room

Our friends at Burns McDonnell, the world’s top engineering firm, tasked us with designing and building an EPIC, State-of-the-art 360 LED video wall room. Consequently, this state-of-the-art space allows them to physically preview all their 3D CAD files and engineering projects. As a result, it provides an immersive experience that significantly enhances collaboration with their teams and clients.

Enhancing Collaboration Beyond VR

Although many companies use VR for CAD file walkthroughs, VR often falls short in terms of real-time discussion. Specifically, it lacks the capability for team members to see where others are focusing or pointing. Therefore, our 360 LED video wall bridges this gap by allowing everyone in the room to view and discuss the designs simultaneously, creating a more interactive and engaging experience. Our 360 LED video wall does allow for everyone to experience their out-of-this-world design but also shows the client why Burns McDonnell is simply the best engineering firm in the world. They are always pushing the edge of technology to set the standard within their industry.

Proud Partnership with Burns McDonnell

We are genuinely thrilled to be Burns McDonnell’s official LED video wall partner. Notably, witnessing their innovative launch pad designs and experiencing the sensation of being 40 stories high up is truly extraordinary. This project not only highlights their groundbreaking designs but also underscores why Burns McDonnell remains a leader in engineering excellence.

Collaboration with Igloo Vision

In this groundbreaking project, we partnered with Igloo Vision, whose software suite expertly manages the 3D CAD integrations. Meanwhile, Ascend took charge of all other aspects, including software and media management, hardware design, installation, and implementation. Consequently, this collaboration ensured a seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies.

A Global First – 360 LED video Wall Room

We are proud to announce that this is the world’s first 360 LED video wall room. Furthermore, it is a pioneering achievement, with only one other similar room located in Dubai. Thus, the immersive experience provided by this room is truly mind-blowing and sets a new benchmark in the industry.

Easy Streaming and Control

The system allows the Burns McDonnell team to stream their designs effortlessly from networked computers or through local wireless connections. Additionally, our design includes high-quality K-Array speakers, full-color programmable recessed lighting, and a sophisticated control system. Consequently, team members can easily manage everything using a wall-mounted touch panel or Surface tablet, making the system both intuitive and user-friendly.

A Team Effort

This project was indeed a significant team effort involving the entire Ascend team. We are extremely proud of the final product and deeply grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such an innovative and industry-leading client.
