Prepare your design and apply the stencilsīefore you can get started with the technology, you need to have a clear idea of what your visual assets are going to look like, including where your touch points are and what you want to project. This will allow you to make sure your design works, familiarise yourself with the technology, practice applying Electric Paint, and troubleshoot your sensors.

Once you have done so, start by creating a mock-up of your wall and testing your design with one or two sensors. We recommend you read and familiarise yourself with this tutorial before getting started so you understand the steps required to create a full-scale interactive installation. For a more detailed explanation, read the instructions further down. We have created a full video that walks you through all the steps, you can watch it below. You can find these projects in our Blog section. Many artists and advertising agencies have created projection mapping installations with our Touch Board, making their event and brand more engaging. One of the most popular choices is the Epson 1060 projector, which is bright enough to work in daylight. If you have a short distance between where you place the projector and where you want your projection mapping to happen, you need a short-throw projector.

You can download a trial version for MadMapper from the MadMapper website.įor projection mapping to be most effective, you need to choose a bright projector. We use the tools that come with the Interactive Wall Kit and use MadMapper as the mapping software, but you can use other mapping software that can take MIDI signals as inputs. In this tutorial, we explain how to set up projection mapping with the Touch Board and make an interactive wall. Electric Paint and the Touch Board make it possible to transform any surface into a stunning, interactive projection-mapped project! We've seen incredible projection mapping projects on walls, floors, and even 3D objects. Touching your Electric Paint designs sends a signal to the software and triggers an animation or video. In the simplest form, projection mapping requires a computer, mapping software, a projector, and video content mapped onto a surface.Īnd with the Touch Board and Electric Paint, you can make projection mapping immersive! You can extend the Touch Board's twelve capacitive sensors with the Electric Paint to create points of interaction on the projection surface. It involves taking a video, animation, images, or any other visual material and project them onto a surface or objects to provide context or information or create an immersive experience. Projection mapping, also known as video mapping or spatial augmented reality, allows you to make your surroundings come alive.
