What is projection mapping?

Projection mapping is a technology that uses a special projector to paste images onto an object.

This technology distorts the image to match the shape of the object, creating a three-dimensional effect. This allows you to create a sense of realism and immersion that cannot be expressed on a flat surface.

Projection mapping is used in various fields such as entertainment, advertising, events, and art, and can create impressive and powerful visual effects, especially when projected onto large-scale buildings and landmarks.

In order to create a new tourism resource that colors Tokyo's nights, we have begun showing projection mapping all year round, using Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building No. 1, one of Tokyo's landmarks, as a canvas to express a variety of art using light and sound. will be done.
