Projection mapping
3D projection mapping projectors, lenses and paint for walls, objects and immersive rooms. Build the system around your surface, your mounting positions and the experience you want to create.
Shop mapping equipmentPlan your projection system →
Projection mapping fits light and moving images to a physical surface. A wall can appear to open, a sculpture can change its texture, and a room can become part of a moving scene. The effect comes from matching the content to the geometry, then aligning the projectors to that canvas.
The projector provides the light. The lens determines where the image can land. The coating shapes how the surface returns that light to the audience. Mapping software, playback and calibration bring those components together.
Choose usable brightness, image detail and installation flexibility for your surface. Fixed-lens models suit a defined placement; interchangeable-lens bodies let you plan around a wider range of mounting positions.
Compare projectors in the catalog →Start with the projector body, then match a supported lens to image width and mounting distance. Check whether a lens is included. Short, standard and long-throw options are specific to the model.
Understand lens compatibility →Browse projection paints in the standard catalog. Compare the available finishes, product specifications and surface preparation requirements for your project.
Shop projection paint →Build a system that fits
Start with the physical canvas. Measure every surface and mounting position before comparing brightness or resolution. Your projector, lens, coating and content need to work as one system.
BenQ LK936ST and LK935, plus Optoma fixed-lens installation models, cover a range of mounting distances. Prioritize the right optical fit and enough output for your image area. Use mapping software for content alignment and masks.
Epson PU/PQ and Optoma ZU920TST or ZK installation models give you options for adjoining images. Plan overlap, matching, playback outputs and calibration together. Larger PU/PQ bodies expand the available output for venue-scale projects.
Detailed graphics and close viewing may favor 4K output. Large surfaces may need more usable light. Compare ANSI, ISO and other published brightness figures carefully, and account for the selected lens and calibration mode.
Many installation bodies require a separate lens. Include mounts, media playback, software, content, cabling and setup in your budget. Check current supply and the exact configuration before placing a project order.
Choose your projector to compare the lenses that fit, ordered from the closest mounting position to the farthest.
Throw distance ÷ image width = throw ratio. A 0.5:1 lens needs roughly 5 feet of throw for a 10-foot-wide image. A 2:1 lens needs roughly 20 feet. A zoom range gives you placement flexibility.
Use image width, not diagonal size. Lens shift moves the image up, down or sideways without tilting the projector; it does not extend the throw range.
Change the width to update the approximate throw distances below.

Distances are planning estimates from image width × nominal throw ratio, not final mounting dimensions. The manufacturer’s lens reference point, offsets and distance formula matter, especially with ultra short throw lenses. Check supported image size, focus range, lens shift and clearance before mounting. A calculated distance does not confirm that an unusually small or large image is supported.
Projection mapping aligns images and video to physical surfaces. The content can follow a building, sculpture, scenic object or room rather than a conventional rectangular screen. The surface geometry, projector placement, content and calibration work together to create the effect.
Projection mapping does not inherently require stereoscopic playback or glasses. The word 3D often describes the physical surface or the illusion created by the content. If the show also uses stereoscopic video, verify the playback format, projector support, synchronization and glasses as a separate system requirement.
For one wall or object, start with image size, available distance and ambient light. The BenQ LK936ST provides an integrated short-throw lens with optical lens shift. The LK935 offers a different placement option. These can be useful when a complex interchangeable-lens installation is unnecessary, with external software handling the mapped content.
Choose one when the projector must work from a specific mounting point, when the image needs an unusually short or long throw, or when a venue may change layouts. Epson PU/PQ, Optoma ZK1000/ZK1320 and Vivitek DK10000Z bodies offer lens options. The body and exact lens must be specified together, and the lens may be sold separately.
Divide the lens-to-surface projection distance by the image width, using the same units. A 12-foot-wide image from roughly 8 feet suggests a ratio near 0.67:1. Use that as an initial lens search, then check the manufacturer's exact distance, offset, image-size and lens-shift charts. Mirror-based UST lenses need particular attention to the measurement reference point.
Yes. For example, ELPLU03S is approximately 0.65–0.78:1 on EB-PU1008 at 16:10 and 0.46–0.56:1 on EB-PQ2008 at 16:9. Lens compatibility and throw ratio depend on the body and image format. Use the model-specific table below instead of transferring a generic lens specification between projectors.
There is no single correct number. Required output depends on the illuminated area, surface response, ambient light, lens, image overlap and desired brightness. Calibration and operating mode also change delivered light. Compare brightness specifications using their stated measurement standard and evaluate representative content at the intended image size.
4K output can help with fine text, detailed graphics and close viewing, but the installation must preserve that detail through the lens, focus, content and geometry adjustments. WUXGA can be appropriate for larger patterns and atmospheric scenes. Epson PU models with 4K Enhancement and PQ models with 4K Crystal Motion should not be described as identical resolution systems.
Warping changes image geometry so content fits the target. Masking defines where content appears and where it is withheld. Edge blending adjusts overlapping images to reduce visible seams. These functions may be handled by the projector, external software or a media server; check the exact workflow for the selected model.
Yes. Multiple projectors can cover a wider or more complex canvas, but they need planned overlap, matched color and brightness, stable mounts and coordinated playback. Optoma ZU920TST documents an integrated warping and blending workflow. Epson offers multi-projection tools and optional camera-assisted functions on selected models. Confirm all required software, cameras and output hardware.
EDGE is a starting candidate for multi-projector walls. Paint On Screen describes it as a light-grey, low-gain coating intended for blending applications. It provides a receiving surface; alignment, image processing and calibration still create the electronic blend. Test overlap regions and dark scenes from the audience area before coating the entire room.
Radiant White is a starting candidate for a controlled-light surface. Consider the substrate, viewing positions, projector incidence angle and finish. S1 Ultimate Contrast and 3D4K are conditional alternatives for feature surfaces. Their higher listed gain does not make them automatic upgrades for every object or immersive room.
No. Ultra-short-throw describes the projection geometry, while the coating must also suit the audience and lighting. A blended immersive wall may still call for EDGE. Evaluate UST-ALR for the exact projector angles and finish, and test a sample before specifying it across a large surface.
Outdoor mapping needs a suitable surface, practical light levels and an installation designed for the environment. Darkness or controlled lighting can make a major difference to contrast. Exterior paint does not protect a projector from weather. Verify equipment operating limits, environmental protection and the actual site conditions before choosing a system.
Measure the net area of each surface and calculate each coating separately. Use the finished-system coverage for the exact SKU, container size, formulation and application method. Surface porosity and extra coats can change yield. Do not count a shared wall twice or assume every product's quoted coverage refers to the same number of coats.
Allow for the compatible lens, mount, computer or media server, mapping software, content, video distribution, control, power and commissioning. Larger installations may need multiple synchronized outputs and calibration hardware. Budgeting only for the projector body and paint misses much of the working system.
Send surface dimensions and photographs, proposed mounting locations and distances, lighting during operation, audience positions, intended content, operating hours, timeline and budget. Include substrate details for paint and identify floor or exterior areas. This lets the team evaluate geometry, output and coating requirements together.
