Every building, stage, or public space has a story, but most of the time it fades into the background. Projection mapping changes that. Instead of adding a screen or a banner, you use light, movement, and sound to turn the space itself into the canvas, whether that’s a theatre façade, a gallery wall, or a city landmark.

Getting into projection mapping with MadMapper 6.0 is easiest if you treat it like a film shoot: prep your kit, plan the surface, then work through a repeatable software workflow. This step‑by‑step guide walks through everything from gear and setup to building your first show in MadMapper 6.0.
