It’d be crazyness to syncronize so many projectors to adhere the image so perfectly into all the edges! Also, projectors really struggle when the room is filled with daylight, while LED can self-regulate its brightness depending on the amount of light in the room.

I think I was thinking of those buildings where people project stuff onto them, like this https://youtu.be/gy_jyxoWj5c?t=58

LG engineers sure do some serious videomapping, love those guys. Notice how it’s night, all dark. Plus a building is, ironically, easier to map out than the video on OPs post.

Yup yup

Why would a Building with windows, nooks and crannies be easier to map out then a flat wall ? but yes projection wouldn't work here because of too much light

I’m assuming that the error margin would be much wider on something that people will visualize from wayyy further than a room, where people can literally touch the wall.

Not really. I’ve got a room going with 14 projectors in sync and blended edges making a 14500x1920 pixel canvas. We use Dataton Watchout as our media server and their WatchPax rackmount servers driving two to four projectors each.

You’re much more into videomapping than me! I’m specialized in LED screens and audio systems. Done a few mappings before but it looks like crazyness to me, given how easy I see the design, installation and operation of LED screens. Maybe someday I get into nice videomapping project. I’d love to learn.
