What kind of projector do I need for projection mapping?
Almost all projectors can be used for projection mapping. Preferably use a higher resolution projector, with a high contrast ratio, get a sharp and clear video image. You will need to calculate the distance available to you from the object to where the projector can be mounted. Make sure you don’t have any objects obstructing the throw of the projector. Keep the projector at a height so you don’t end up having people walk past your projections.
If you are using a mirror-based projector then be careful while mounting it, any degree of rotation can cause the image to get skewed. It’s better to use a short throw lens, than a mirror projector unless you have no option. Once you have mounted the projector and managed to cover the object with the projector’s light you will need a software tool to map and control the video projection.
Hardware required for projection mapping?
For a very basic setup, you will need a projector and a laptop/computer to control the projections and map the object. However, for bigger setups, you will need additional hardware like media servers to connect multiple projectors and create a large-scale projection mapping setup. Depending on the final output resolution you will need a robust computer with a good graphics card to run the video at a constant frame rate.
Many standalone devices allow you to set up projection mapping installations, especially useful in setting up permanent installations, like MadMapper, you can also use a RaspberryPi or other such small form computing devices. Additionally, there is a device called Lightform which is a dedicated small projector with built-in software for projection mapping.
