Projector Placement.
It is difficult to achieve video projection onto non-planar surfaces, such as
the surface of a moebius strip.
To resolve this problem, an object exactly matching the installation sculpture
was created in the virtual domain, ie with the same form and dimensions.
This virtual strip was then divided into six segments, each having a camera
opposed to it. The cameras could see only their matching segment, all others
being invisible to them.
Images obtained by these virtual cameras were then projected onto the surface
of the sculpture in real space, using six projectors positioned accordingly.
The challenge was to insert parameters into the modeling process to alter the
shape of the virtual strip, to match most of the imperfections of the strip in
real space.
