Projection mapping is a captivating technology that transforms ordinary surfaces into dynamic, interactive displays. It's a great way to combine art with historic structures, as the projection mapping doesn't cause damage in the way that hanging traditional artworks could.
A special event this summer brings the magic of projection mapping to Aichi's Okazaki Castle, which has roots dating back to the year 1455. The content of the colorful displays will relate to the culture and history of Okazaki City, ensuring a broad appeal to a variety of audiences.
