Projection Mapping using TouchDesigner

This workshop is a slightly extended version of the one taking place on the previous day. It is free and exclusive to the 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. VPT8 an open source software and TouchDesigner a more complex application will be used to explore the topic.

We begin with a talk and demonstration on projection mapping. All those taking part will have a chance to try the process and are encouraged to bring along content they want to project such as images and videos.

The software used in this session is freely available to download and the set up will not be overly complex so you do not need a super computer to take part.

This workshop is only available to members of the XR LAB. DAS Membership is required and costs £50 per year.
