Projection Mapping: VJ Visuals

Boring Cat

About this app

Projection Mapping turns a normal projector into a light show that fits the real world. Draw shapes on your phone, pin their corners to a box, a wall, a window or a stage set, and fill each one with moving visuals, photos or videos. You control everything from the phone while the projector shows a clean picture.

How it works
1. Connect your projector with an HDMI adapter or a wireless display.
2. Map: add shapes and drag each corner until the projected shape sits exactly on the real surface.
3. Play: pick what plays inside every shape and adjust it live.

Projection mapping tools
• Corner pin warping for every shape, so pictures stay straight on angled surfaces
• Squares, circles, triangles, stars, hearts, arches, text and shapes you draw with a finger
• Ready made cube and room layouts whose faces stay joined at the corners
• Snapping, nudging one projector pixel at a time, undo and redo
• Mapping patterns (checkerboard, grid, solid) that make alignment easy to see on the wall

Visuals
• 68 built in visuals: geometric patterns, tunnels, neon, fluid color, fire, water light, aurora, stars, snow, fireworks and more
• Your own photos and videos, with cover, stretch or custom crop
• Edge visuals that trace the outline of each shape
• Colors and sliders for every visual, changed while it plays

Effects and motion
• 20 effects you can stack: kaleidoscope, mirror, tile, wave, blur, glitch, pixelate, color split and more
• Motion for any setting: smooth waves, or the bass, mid, treble and volume of the music around you
• Scenes that keep different looks for the same shapes, with automatic scene changes

Projector output
• A clean picture on the projector while the controls stay on the phone
• Full screen mode for projectors that mirror the phone screen
• Mirror and flip for rear projection and ceiling mounts
• Record your show as an MP4 video

Ideas for video mapping: boxes and furniture, Halloween and Christmas window projection, party and VJ visuals, stage and band backdrops, shop displays, theater sets and art installations.

Your projects are saved on the phone. The app works offline and does not need an account. The microphone is only used when you turn on sound reactive motion, and nothing is recorded.
