Projection Mapping Explained – Theme Park Definition

Projection mapping is a high-tech display technique that turns objects—often irregularly shaped ones like castle walls or dark ride sets—into a surface for video projection. By using specialized software to "map" the 3D geometry of the object, the projectors can create stunning illusions of movement, transformation, and depth. It is widely used in nighttime spectaculars (like castle shows) and modern dark rides to create dynamic environments without physical sets.
