video mapping

Architectural light art

Video mapping is projecting images or video onto irregular surfaces—buildings, sculptures, stage sets—so the content appears to wrap naturally around the object's contours.

Software adjusts the projection to match the surface geometry, creating illusions of movement, transformation, or depth.

Also called projection mapping.

The festival featured video mapping on the cathedral facade.
