projection mapping

Architectural light display

Projection mapping is a technique that uses video projectors to cast images onto irregular surfaces—buildings, sculptures, stage sets—transforming them into dynamic displays.

Software adjusts the projected image to fit the object's contours, creating illusions of movement, texture change, or architectural transformation: The projection mapping made the cathedral appear to crumble and rebuild.
