In fact, they offered a beautiful and unique <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/hit.land\/glossary\/branding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"brand\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">brand<\/a> new ordeal. Generally, audiences are used to mappings on structures that you have to look at from afar, or that are straight in front of you. While the spectacle sure is often marvelous, it\u2019s actually not as immersive as it is a pure show. The design studio wanted to change that and delivered a 3D projection mapping inside the tunnel under the Manhattan Bridge. The result is complete immersion. As everywhere you look is mapped, it makes you feel as if you are inside the mapping. Remember this dates back to 2011! This is a truly pioneering work which surely inspired recent venues such as l\u2019Atelier des Lumi\u00e8res.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heavym.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/sobelow-1-p65a4tu8ekqxzggyrtw3hr83isq1d02cnr3tb2ugk2.jpeg\" alt=\"3d projection mapping - sobelow\" title=\"sobelow-1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heavym.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/sobelow-2-p659sueb9mcbyfvnr5ec7a3iuxsk7xhk0fny12m5w2.jpeg\" alt=\"3d projection mapping - sobelow 2\" title=\"sobelow-2\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"perspective-lyrique-fetes-des-lumieres-2010\">Perspective Lyrique &#8211; F\u00eates des Lumi\u00e8res, 2010<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>1024 Architecture<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"PERSPECTIVE LYRIQUE\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/18888136?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s throw it back when&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1024architecture.net\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">1024 Architecture<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;put interactivity at the heart of projection mapping. The Festival of Lights in Lyon truly is an occasion to show the world what a mapping experience really is. And back in 2010, that\u2019s exactly what 1024 Architecture did, when they coupled 3D projection mapping with interactivity. In fact, they projected a mapping of former lyrical theater, the \u201cCelestins\u201d. Right in front of it, at the center of the place was a microphone. All passersby could then speak, sing or shout in the mic. And when they did so, the building would deform and figures would appear and move according to the sound made. It was a beautiful use of audio analysis algorithms to engage the audience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heavym.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/1024-1-p6597wjr0hnys6zf932webhjdab04w935m5o3r89sc.jpeg\" alt=\"3d projection mapping - 1024 architecture\" title=\"1024-1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heavym.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/1024-2-p659826s5hvopur8c5inta2axlj7f2vh6e2kzezwr0.jpeg\" alt=\"girl interact with the mapping\" title=\"1024-2\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"enghien-bains-numeriques-festival-2009\">Enghien &#8211; Bains Num\u00e9riques Festival, 2009<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Joanie Lemercier &amp; AntiVJ<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"AntiVJ - ENGHIEN\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EhTOWwAZxK0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s have it for the one who many consider as their primary inspiration for projection mapping, Joanie Lemercier.
