About projected objects that move "behind" pillars, etc: I assume these are fixed artworks, and programmers edited the show, manually. I may be wrong about that, but I never heard a description of the system. For some reason, the sound got muted after a few seconds ;)
Can the illusion projector system figure out where the objects are? I thought of 3-D mapping using a couple of cameras. But a single laser measuring device might allow a computer to have enough data to design its own show, even identifying cars and other objects. That could make it portable, to do it anyplace.
If I'm thinking of the same bit of footage - I think they just occluded the bits where the columns are - The projector was fixed, the objects (yes, even the Doric architecture) was fixed.
What is it with YouTube and Really Crappy Soundtracks?
ReplyDeleteThe parts where they showed the illusions were very impressive. But I was able to view their entire friggin portfolio while I was at it.
The cascading balls are best.
ReplyDeleteI've linked to the virtual graffiti machine before, which projects graffiti onto any surface - much the same kind of thing, but more fun, methinks.
They all have hearing aids.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that before. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteAre you sure about that?
ReplyDeleteThe ones at around 0:16 looked a tad Ionian to me.
What a shame. I hope it's fixed.
ReplyDeleteDoric, Ionian, Palladian whatever! it ought to stay fairly still while you're projecting on to it.
