LogInProjection mapping at its finest.
Director, video artist, graphic designer, and animator Tee Ken Ng has many talents. He has worked on music videos for Tim Minchin and Jacob Collier, took part in various exhibits, and created fun installations.
One of them is this amazing game world he set up with Godot and MadMapper right in this room with spatial augmented reality technologies, including projection mapping. What it does is turn objects into a display surface for video projection so a character can interact with obstacles.
In the video above, for example, the artist's avatar jumps from one sticky note to another and uses the books and the picture frame as platforms.
"The real world objects were placed over the projected game. The game is basically a bunch of invisible colliders and a player sprite," Tee Ken Ng explained.
This showcase is extremely curious but not exactly the first in the field. If you want to see more projection mapping, take a look at Lowtek Games' interactive book where you can play golf and Lance Snider's beautiful storybook, which might be a little different from what we're talking about here, but it's still a curious way of changing reality.
