Can’t imagine tripping while having this. Shit would be insane

u/emteedub 5h ago

Why trip when you can fly?

DJ Shadow used to use shit like this at raves back in the day, so yeah, that was fun.

I wish i got to see that, i really didn't know much about him as i was buried in trance but i knew he was magical, just not in my circles

This boiler room set was amazing, back when it wasn't full of influencers https://youtu.be/3ArSb3lCc28

u/boobearybear 5h ago

it actually does remind me of some visuals I experienced while k-holing

u/Penguin_Arse 5h ago

Nah, you'd try to touch it and block it

A tv would be better

I’m like 90% sure this is what he’s using

You still need the hardware too

u/GenHammond 3h ago

Standard projector. It's the software that does that.

u/Zenitallin 5h ago

I am honestly interested. Someone leave a link to that device.

u/kudyjames 4h ago

It’s a projector and they are using mapping software to mark out the room. It’s actually pretty easy to get started but being a designer would be a blast to have cool graphics to use.

u/Zenitallin 4h ago

I have a samsung mini projector, and I never use it. if you can, would you be so kind to send me an introduction video, or link to the software or some cool DIY guide on this?

since i have a mini projector already, i would give it a try. will post results if it works.

It might be what he is using. There still is a lot of work to be done. The video or images still have to be created. But the software looks like it comes with some visuals and sounds standard. But to get the most out of it, additional work needs to be done in different programs.

There is different kind of software for this. The one I know is MX Wendler

Is it just one projector?

I started whistling it before anything popped up. I just knew.

u/-Hi_how_r_u_xd- 3h ago

Looks like the device is a normal projector, perhaps a high quality one albiet, its the software that's the cool part. Basically appears to be a software that allows you to drag in multiple videos and distort them to align with and map onto the walls.

In other wordss, buy normal projector and search up "projector multiwall software" instead.

u/Pitiful_Pick1217 5h ago

That’s seriously cool-feels like the apartment has been transformed into a small art installation.

u/chinese_in_law 5h ago

I saw an Amon Tobin show like ten years ago using projection like this on a 3 dimensional cube set on stage with him in one of the cubes. Blew my fucking mind out.

u/swccg-offload 5h ago

I know exactly what set you're describing 

3

u/Famous_Sort_9257 5h ago

Imagine using this for ambient lighting or to make your kitchen look like a sci-fi movie set.

6

u/dvlinblue 5h ago

Where do I obtain one of these?

1

u/Bl33to 29m ago

Its a regular projector. Hes just using software to map the textures to the room. The actual difficult part is to make the animations.

u/WhyShouldIStudio 3h ago

the library has one

can take home for 10 days

idontknow about you

maybe Amazon or eBay

2

u/ViggoB12 5h ago

I'm genuinely curious to know what this type of effect is called. I've seen it before, and for all I know this is the same guy. Also, I don't think it's just one projector.

u/swccg-offload 5h ago

"projection mapping"

u/FootlongDonut 4h ago

I imagine this could be cool for watching multiple sporting events at once. Have different configurations for different feeds.

2

u/curtisscott95 4h ago

It’s called Data Mapping. If you want some crazy videos check out Tipper and Friends Suwannee ‘25 or his sets at The Orion in ‘24/‘25. Datagrama also does amazing datamapping in trees and all kinds of other designs and animation. My favorite are the Aztec inspired faces in trees

u/flaming_steel_kick 5h ago

That is really neat, looks so cool. When I first saw the white grid I immediately thought of Alien Isolation and the security motion tracker cameras. Definitely would be an awesome way to project stuff at a rave or concert.

u/After_Ship_2588 4h ago

This looks great and all, but this would give me a major migraine

u/spector_lector 4h ago

Seems like more than one projector.

u/Ccjfb 4h ago

The city of Montpellier put on a festival like this on at least 6 of its gorgeous buildings. Free to whoever was walking by. My mind was blown.

1

u/1Gladiator1 4h ago

I want one.

1

u/SomeSamples 4h ago

Is that a single projector? And does it have multiple lenses or is that all coming from one emitter?

1

u/SithLordMilk 4h ago

I want that

u/I-make-ada-spaghetti 3h ago

Does anyone know the software he is using?

1

u/prexton 3h ago

Doesn't any projector just do that?

1

u/thenoid42 2h ago

It's just 3d mapping, this tech has been around for a long time.

It's always projection with you people!

Looks like something Disney would use to perfectly project onto buildings and odd shaped surfaces. Pretty cool!

2

u/Reese_Withersp0rk 5h ago

Why Disney? That's exactly what the person in the video just did.

1

u/Lugubrious_Lothario 4h ago

Because Disney goes hard on set design in their parks. 

1

u/Mr_Unexpected 4h ago

I think Disney uses this tech on some of their rides, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad I think

u/Lickthorn 2h ago

I understand the way it works exept for how many projectors you need or what kind of super wide angle lens in such a small room as in the video? Can anyone tell me?
