Projection Mapping
Projection mapping wraps light around the real shape of a room, a diorama, or an artifact case — so the story moves across the surfaces visitors are already looking at.

Where it works
Common ways museums use this.
Architectural Storytelling
Project a building's history directly onto its own facade or atrium.
Diorama Animation
Bring static models and dioramas to life with light, weather, and motion.
Artifact Context
Layer maps, restoration stages, or daily-life use onto a single object in its case.
Immersive Room Transformations
Turn a plain room into a 360° environment for a temporary exhibition.
What's included
Built in, not bolted on.
- Content mapped precisely to your space's real geometry
- Looping playback or motion-triggered sequences
- Multi-projector edge-blending for large or wraparound surfaces
- Low-heat, conservation-safe projection options for sensitive artifacts
- Sound design and score integration
- Remote monitoring so shows restart themselves after a power blip
Good to know
- Typical footprint
- Anything from a single case to a full room or facade
- Install time
- Site survey first, then 2–5 days for calibration depending on scale
- Accessibility
- Can be paired with audio description and captioning tracks
- Power & network
- Dedicated circuit recommended for projector runs; network optional for remote monitoring
