THE WORLD IS YOUR CANVAS...
W ithout a shadow of a doubt, projection mapping has taken the AV industry by storm over recent years, dazzling spectators across the planet with hypnotic displays cast onto every 3D surface imaginable. One of my favourite examples of late even managed to carve its name into the Guinness World Records, as the world’s largest projection mapping installation. Looming over the bustling city streets of Shinjuku in Tokyo, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building was morphed into a canvas which demonstrated a mesmerising display of light and colour. This issue, we explore the profitable projection mapping market, looking at three cases that emphasise how far this tech can go. From fitness apps and watches to virtual reality rehab programmes, the wellness industry is on the up, in line with increased awareness about mental health as a whole. LIVE takes a deep dive into restorative waters to determine AV’s part to play in this groundbreaking crossover between healthcare and technology.
Our round table gathers experts to discuss the growth of AV over IP – and how best to leverage it – while this issue’s buyers’ guide sounds out the best audio set-ups available. Keen on interactive experiences? Be sure to head to page 44, where we delve into the tools that are becoming essential ingredients to an immersive environment recipe. From Abba Voyage to visionary corporate and learning spaces, we shed light on the revolutionary tech behind these experiences. Finally, make sure to catch this issue’s Industry Icons, where LIVE meets interdisciplinary creative technologist Adam Corrie to learn about his colourful career. He also shares his passion for increasing accessibility to AV education, with an infectious zeal for ensuring the next generation of talent.
