There are a number of 3D projection videos here, but this one might be the best I've seen.

Ok, not to steal any thunder but this is a simulation.

This is the first I've seen of this and I was trying to figure out where the projectors where. At 1:55'ish a green ball of light seems to bounces -behind- a person walking in front of the church. In other words, the person walking didn't light up, so the projector would have to be behind them, but I can't see any (not to mention most people walking by didn't seem all that interested in what should have been a very distracting event).

Here's a real demonstration of the tech by the same crew...

Awesome stuff!

I think some of the stuff in this video is real but the church one is fake. Nobody walking by even glances over at the church and there's a few glitches in the light propagation etc.

Yes and no.

I have a projector at my house that can shoot an 80inch square onto a wall from only 10 inches away. It has an enormous lens on the front that's almost an orb, and calculates distance and makes necessary adjustments accordingly.

But yes, most of these were simulations, although the real deal is barely any different.

Check out urbanscreen.com's website for examples of real applications of this type of archetectural projections.

Interesting stuff concerning the projector. This is all new to me.

The live video, though, which I have linked uses the same visuals as this, and I think it looks even better because you can tell it's actually projecting onto the architecture. The stuff here's a bit too crisp and bright which is what got me wondering.

I guess they have to create a crude 3D model of the architecture in the first place in order to create the visuals, which is why they can go ahead and make this simulation video using the actual scenery.

It's all pretty cool, imo.
