MAPP x SAT Sessions
Workshops
Video mapping initiation workshop (Septembre 29 and 30)
Video mapping, or projection mapping, or illusionist projection, allows physical surfaces to be augmented with projected visual content. This technique is used in particular for architectural projection installations, or for immersive spaces such as domes/planetariums. Video mapping techniques involve one or more video projectors which, when used together, will project visuals. In this workshop, we will use the free Splash software developed by Metalab, SAT’s research laboratory, and by the Lab148 cooperative, to explain and illustrate the principles of video-mapping, from the calibration of the projectors with the projection surface to the adaptation of the content on it.
Aimed at a beginner audience, the workshop will take place in 20-minute sessions during which we will go through all the steps to implement a miniature video-mapping installation, projected on a model of the Van Horne skatepark.
