This projection mapping workshop is free and exclusive to members of our XR LAB only.

Projection mapping is a method used to turn objects into display surfaces. This workshop introduces participants to the technique and the requirements and assets associated with it, using TouchDesigner.

The workshop offers a fun and playful way of learning some new digital skills taking a visual image and exploring ways of converting it into audio. The resulting sound piece is then edited and reverted into the visual medium.
