More progress on 3d mapping in a day



We said we’d crack it and we did, preparations are under way to bring you structural 3D mapping in a day. The system will work along the lines of our video mapped stage stets, with live playback of multiple layers & a combination of custom and stock content. These are a few frames from my phone at @intnlconfex this year where we developed some of the techniques. Watch this space for further developments as move on with the R & D

Video Mapped Stage Sets Sub 10K!



We've Cracked it! Projection sets for the price of a stock set.

If you missed us at confex & can spare a couple of minutes & you're involved in presentations have a quick peek at this, it's real video mapping,  I know everyone is talking about & let's face its expensive. We've changed all that...
 We've found a way of providing a set like this one.
-or to your spec for a price that's comparable to that of a standard set, complete with server, projectors & set -no catch.
All in for £9500.0.
 If you take into account that that includes the branding with no print fee you can see why at the launch last month we found we had a shocking successes on our hands 
 
We took a scale model of a set confex mapped with the show branding content to show you how easy it is. If you really want to put us to the test why not of invite us to do a demo on your premises pop some content on a stick & we'll map a set just for you in no time on your premises!
Having succeeded in bring affordable  video mapping to corporate events, we are now looking at affordable architectural mapping, and marketing projections.

Video mapped stage structures in 24 hrs next.

What a great show @eventprodshow this week. It's a year since the launch of video mapped stage sets. Thanks to the Olympics,the jubilee & the mainstream press everyone in the UK knows what we are talking about now & the response was even more phenomenal than last year.
Now everyone can see how we can bring it to the market a such an attractive price it's time to up the stakes & take our concept in live mapping  a step further.
During the show we did the final R&D for "mapping structures in a few hours",  with no model & no render time.
The show gave us an opportunity to try it out & this is the result. Now we'll transfer what we learned last year developing video mapped stage sets and apply the system to structures with depth.
Oh -it will still be tollerant of miss-built sets, missing flying points & all manner or real life gaff ups

Big promise?
Watch this space.
