Recent Trends and Applications of Projection Mapping Technology for Immersive Contents

Projection mapping technology is a key technology for realizing immersive content such as media facades and immersive media art, and has been continuously researched. However, there has been a lack of comprehensive analysis on the hardware, software, and content characteristics for projection mapping, as well as discussions on how to improve these aspects in line with technological advancements. This paper investigates the concept of projection mapping for immersive content, as well as the software technologies, key hardware technologies, and integrated tools based on this concept. It also examines and analyzes various immersive content cases, including domestic and international media art and media facades, implemented using projection mapping technology. Based on this, the paper suggests the direction in which projection mapping technology should progress for future immersive content. This paper is expected to be useful in establishing research and development directions for immersive content by exploring projection mapping technology and its applications.
