Projection Mapping Resources

Stand-alone tools

• Mapamok
  • Great tool developed at YCAM for projecting onto a scene you have modeled in 3D
• A long list of video-based mapping tools
  • (very VJ focused)
• LPMT
  • (not free to download, but free if you compile from source in OF!)
• Mad mapper(not free!)
  • But free to try out. Use it with Syphon (see below!)

Tools to use with openFrameworks

• ofxSimpleProjectionMapper
  • A quad-based simple projection mapper
  • Brett's fork of pkmProjectionMapper; will be rolling in some old LAB tools into this soon!
  • Couple of examples in the Week 5 folder
• ofxMapamok
  • The openFrameworks addon version of ofxMapamok. Definitely in its infancy, but already very powerful
  • Couple of examples in the Week 5 folder
• ofxProjectorBlend
  • Using more than one projector? Do they need to overlap? You're going to need this addon.
• Syphon
  • Syphon is amazing. It allows two or more apps to share image data at full frame rates.
  • Use Syphon to create complex visuals in one app and pull them into one of the warping tools noted above!
• ProCamToolkit
  • The repository Mapamok is part of. A ton of amazing camera/projector calibration tools.
• ofxCameraLucida
  • The holy grail: live projection mapping on 3D (Kinect) input.
