CITY What is Projection Mapping

What is projection mapping?

Projection mapping is light cast onto the surface of a real object. Software aligns the image to the geometry of the building, the dome, or the room, so the surface itself becomes the picture. A screen always looks like a screen. Projection mapping does not. The object comes alive with light.

That is the effect NOVA Light Labs delivers.

From architectural projection mapping on buildings, to domes, immersive rooms, projection dining, stage designs, sculptures, trees, mountains, water fountains, and more.

Every environment is custom designed for its unique time and space.

CITY FAQ

  • Projection mapping is a technique that turns a physical surface into a display. Software aligns video and light to the exact geometry of a building, a wall, a table, or an object, so the visuals follow the contours of what is actually there. The surface becomes the screen.

    NOVA Light Labs designs projection mapping for live events, brand activations, and permanent installations.

  • Projection mapping costs vary with scale, surface complexity, and content requirements. Most NOVA projects fall between $10,000 and $100,000 dollars.

    Smaller single surface activations sit at the lower end. Large architectural work and permanent installations with custom real time content run higher. Every project is quoted after discovery, never before.

  • Projection mapping projects should be booked as early as the date is known.

    Live events typically need 8 to 16 weeks from confirmed start.

    Permanent installations run 20 weeks or more, since they include system design, documentation, and commissioning. Rush timelines are sometimes possible.

    Earlier is always better.

  • NOVA Light Labs offers projection mapping, lighting design, custom visuals, and interactive experiences.

    The studio works in 2 modes.

    Live Events receive full production.

    Permanent Installations receive system design, which covers architecture, specification, documentation, and commissioning.

  • NOVA Light Labs supplies equipment on live events as part of full production.

    On permanent installations the studio does not supply or resell hardware. NOVA specifies every component and delivers a complete bill of materials, and the client procures the equipment directly.

    This keeps procurement transparent and removes any markup from the chain.

  • NOVA Light Labs delivers the complete system design on a permanent installation.

    That includes site documentation, 3D models, blueprints, a bill of materials, content design, oversight through installation, commissioning, and operator training.

    The studio is the architect of the system. The client owns the hardware.
