The light fantastic: Best of 3D projections

Prepare to be impressed.

We’ve all seen buildings… boring, right?

Well, not so much anymore: Projection Mapping is the next big thing.

Projection Mapping is a way of creating digital motion by perfectly mapping a series of effects to a surface or building façade; the result can be truly incredible.

We like them so much we’ve collected some of the best examples for your viewing pleasure – and this way you don’t have to shiver your way through an outdoor installation.
