Twitter, UI, camouflage, cool in Trends Monday, April 6, 2009 at 12:10PM Projection Mapping is a growing trend — exactly mapping the images from a digital projector onto a real world 3D space. I've covered some previous examples here. This is the first example I've seen which is not pure art, and seems to have real-world usability. I particularly like the reply function. What other examples of Project Mapping have you seen? (via createdigitalmotion)

A growing popular trend in art visuals I like is the combination of real-world shapes and computer generated animation. Artists create a physical white 3D surface, map it in software, and use something like Processing and a digital projector to accurately map animation back on to the real-world objects. All examples here are by Teemu.
Here is the same installation with a moving camera:
