Projection mapping with projectors
Images on surfaces that are not screens: a table, rocks and trees, a tower. We plan projectors, light, sound and animation together with Pixcube, our animation studio in Berg. Two examples: the Lumaris dinner show in Altnau and the Jungle Adventure at Connyland.
Typical uses
Table and dinner show
Images on the table that change with every course. Plates and glasses stand in the middle of the scene.
Theme park and attraction
Animations on existing rocks, trees and sets, together with light and sound.
Tower and facade
A building becomes the screen, plus lighting for the whole site.
Show on a loop
The show starts on its own, at Connyland for example every 20 minutes.
Everything from one team
We plan concept, equipment and content together.
Concept and dramaturgy
Storyline, sequence and timing of the show.
Animation
The images are made at Pixcube, exactly for the shape of the surface.
Projectors and mounting
Position and mounting of the projectors, where possible so that visitors hardly see them.
Light and sound
Spotlights and speakers are part of the show. At Connyland there are nearly 100 spotlights and more than 20 speakers.
Show control
Projection, light and sound run together, on a loop or at set times.
What matters
- Ambient light
- Projection needs a dark room or night-time. In daylight, an LED screen is the better choice.
- Area
- Light, matt surfaces give the best image. The shape is up to you, and the animation is fitted exactly to it.
- Mounting
- Projectors need a clear line of sight to the surface, power and access for maintenance. We clarify this before the quote.
- Content
- An existing film rarely fits rocks or a table. The animation is made for the surface.
LED screen or projector?
Both turn a surface into an image. Which technology fits depends mainly on the light and on the surface.
| LED screen | Projection with projectors | |
|---|---|---|
| Light | Bright enough for daylight, sun and shop windows. | Needs a dark room or night-time. |
| Area | Flat or curved, made to measure from modules. | Any shape: table, rocks, trees, facade. |
| Switched off | A black surface remains visible. | The surface looks as it did before. |
| Equipment | The screen itself is the equipment. | The projectors hang off to the side, often barely visible. |
| Typical for | Reception, trade fair, stadium, outdoor advertising | Shows, theme parks, evening events |
| Plan a screen | Enquire about a project |

- Lumaris, dinner show with projectionLumaris is a dinner show at the Krone am See in Altnau. Images are projected onto the long table and change with every course, accompanied by light and music.
- Connyland, Jungle AdventureFor the Jungle Adventure at Connyland, the lighting and sound of the entire hall were redone: nearly 100 spotlights and more than 20 speakers. Four projectors project animations directly onto rocks and trees.
- Fantastical, Burning TowerAt Fantastical on Lake Constance, a tower was brought to life with projection mapping. Additional light sources and accent lighting were added across the grounds: paths, areas and lounge zones.
