About Us / What We Do

Projection Mapping" has become so well known and popularized that it is now used in everyday conversation. Our longstanding activities to promote and educate the public about projection mapping have now moved to the next stage. We will continue to make it function more meaningfully in society and nurture it as a hopeful technology and culture to contribute to the excitement and happiness of people.

What is Projection Mapping?

Projection Mapping is an imaging technique that synchronizes real and virtual images using a projector. The fascinating world view created by the fusion of the two has never faded and is attracting attention around the world. It is also suitable for the direction of historical buildings, as it does not require any modification to the architecture and can be immediately restored to its original state.
