Lightform: procedural effects for projected AR

Abstract

Projected augmented reality, also called projection mapping or video mapping, is a form of augmented reality that uses projected light to directly augment 3D surfaces, as opposed to using pass-through screens or headsets. The value of projected AR is its ability to add a layer of digital content directly onto physical objects or environments in a way that can be instantaneously viewed by multiple people, unencumbered by a screen or additional setup.
