Projection Mapping in 20 Minutes (Original 2021 Luxedo)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 фев 2021
- In my goal of finding ways to make projection mapping more accessible and simpler to do, here's a beginning to end project in about 20 min. To give you an idea of how to do a simple holiday show on your house.
This is using the Luxedo Projection System, which is an all in one system (projector, software etc).

That’s awesome buddy, great vid. Totally thinking about doing this now. Wonder how to incorporate sounds with animations…… well, down the rabbit hole I go.
It's quite fun! You can import audio clips too i think
Neat!
Very Cool! When will you show the final projection on the house?
Since this one was just a quick demo, I wasn't planning on putting it on the house. But I could :)
I look forward to seeing it. You are a pro. :)
I see the icon that says Ed projector. Can you use multiple projectors to map the same house? Can they be linked together? So that your only editing software from the standpoint of one location? In my house there is a tree in the way so the only way I could completely cover the entire house would be with two projectors. Light form does not enable you to use two projectors. Yes you can buy two projectors and use them independently but that’s a bit of a pain.
Luxedo can't do this yet. I would think Adobe After Effects can, although I don't what that looks like yet. Maybe just a media device that can connect to multiple displays. Like my multiple monitors at work...
Would you recommend this setup to someone looking to jump into the projection mapping game? I've become fed up with how much I've spent on LED lights just to have to replace them every year. The LEDs last forever but they still use the cheapest smallest leads that corode and fail quickly. This looks like a great alternative
Yeah, this is the simplest software and system available (IMHO). It's not without some complexity and challenges, since this is such a new thing for residential use. But this is a simple way to get into it.
What do you use for audio with this? Anything built-in?
It has built in Bluetooth, so you can connect speakers to it. :)
So do you need luxlink for the auto showtime or is that built into the luxedo projector?
Luxedo has the scheduler. Luxlink might as well,, but not sure.
Looks great and relatively simple to use. But.... How can we be sure they (and most importantly their webbased software) will be around as long as the projector lives? Of course, I wish them all the best. I guess you can always export it as a mp4, but then you wouldn't be able to edit things anywhere but their proprietary software, I think.
Yes that's my understanding. You could import the mp4 into other software, but wouldn't really be able to edit it.
Assuming their website goes down, how do you upload the MP4 into the projector?
@@carlos33193 I haven't had an issue since February with the site going down. I think they're hosted on AWS, so pretty stable. But if it were temporarily down, you wouldn't be able to load a new show onto the projector. You'd need to wait for the projector to be able to connect to them, and render and schedule the show.
What kind of camera setup are you using to take snap shots?
The built in one, that comes with Luxedo
Is there a demo available for the software? I wouldn't mind trying it out first before sinking $1700 into it. Also how dark does it have to be for effectiveness?
You can check out our playlist on Luxedo to see demos
what stand did you use to get your projector high due to roof?

How do you find the images to put in your projections?
Here's a good place to start ruclips.net/video/a9eU3YZOUWs/видео.html&t
how are you placing the projector back in the correct place outside.
I spray painted around the edges. Or when in a box have some screws as points of reference
@@BairdManor ok... I’ve done the same things. Glad to see I wasn’t far off. Thanks for the great video. 😦👌
What kind of projector did you use
This particular one was the Luxedo v1... I've since upgraded to the v2 with the Optoma zh406st. You can see some comparison videos between the different projectors here ruclips.net/video/csGmAhqGG8Y/видео.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
How do you proyect videos
With this system, the projector comes with it. You create the project, and then can schedule it to play on your projector bit.ly/39JqgJb
Do you think the resolution of the Luxedo is good enough for quality presentations?
The number one improvement I think people are looking for in the Luxedo system is brightness and resolution. You can see in these videos and kind of gauge if it's good enough quality for what you are after. But the company is responding to feedback and it sounds like they have a partnership with Optoma. So look for some cool new things from Luxedo soon.
@@BairdManor What is the utiliity you used to pop up to find an AE Effect
FX Console from Video Copilot (it's free)
@@BairdManor Are you using Elements from Video Copilot?
not much... we used one for our christmas show. Saber is a popular one
what are you using to lock the box so someone just doesnt walk off with the box?
There's a part on the enclosure you can lock it down.
I bring mine in at night though
@@BairdManor thanks yea i have one just didnt know if there was a method people use to secure it so you dont have to watch it the whole time it is running
I think most just hook it to whatever they have close to the projector. Or use something like these www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J4MLHOC/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B01J4MLHOC&linkCode=as2&tag=digitapress09-20&linkId=11dfb49c762f7c9a91fd25e1f7edb756
@@BairdManor thank you very much!
Do you still use this product on a regular basis? I bought this product for Christmas and after 2 weeks of frustration and working with their tech support dept had to return it. The snap shots from the internal camera were distorted and the rendering time for just a couple simple videos were quite long. Since we are talking about a $1700 product, in my opinion this still need a lot of software and hardware development before its as easy their videos make it seem to setup a high quality full video mapping show.
Yep still using it. Did this live demo recently. And will have some more videos of innovations and improvements they're making, based on user input.

@@BairdManor Thx! Maybe I just had a bad experience with the product.
Could I do a Ohio state football projection?
I don't see why not! Just gotta find pics and vids to use
3800 lumen really feels like 2000
How much is projector?
All in with software, case etc is about $1700 portal.myluxedo.com/?fbclid=IwAR0DimZ6t1pS3wM7Gial4djzViFPxo_E_b5QTCUjRZD09ZtW7nLNg8XbmDU&rfsn=6123046.062d094
The layers are like photoshop
Beware! Product is a scam and they charge a $350 restocking fee for returns.
What's the scam?
$1700??? and $20 a month????? ... sorry son..... lets do a regular lights and balloons...
Projection mapped decorating is still an expensive hobby to do at this scale. My main projector (Optoma) was $1100, plus video player, speakers etc. And Adobe After Effects I spend several hundred a year. So definitely a pricey way to decorate. It's not for everyone.
I expect this to get cheaper and more accessible as technology improves. Or folks can go small scale with cheaper projectors and smaller scenes (instead of the whole house)
Hi! When you buy the Luxedo projections system you get the software for free. You only have to pay for the software if you use your own projector. Thanks!
@@luxedoprojections4664 Thanks for confirming that for me!
@@BairdManor Confused, why do you need a media player connected to your projector, isn't it all on like one usb stick?
