Really need more tutorials on this software. I can't even find out how to delete points using the pen tool. And no delete/backspace doesn't work like in photoshop
It would be cool to make a whole room projector with 360° projection to create a virtual world background for your room.
That idea reminds me a lot of the apartments in psychopass.
This technology is amazing and mind boggling! Can't believe we are at this stage in technology!!! Excited about what other amazing tech this could lead to!
This is going to be a great addition to our set design and dance designs. Really looking forward to ours shipping in spring/summer... just in time for Fall semester 2019!
We can't wait to see what you make with it!
It looks like setting up perspective for stickers is done with corner pinning. But you have depth information and I assume in doing so, you've solved for the intrinsic matrix of the projector. So for any pixel too can compute a 3D point. Just let the user click anywhere, extend out a few pixels and get 3 points. Pick a point and compute 3D vectors to the other two points. Take the cross product and now you have the surface normal. Let the user scale, rotate and pan the sticker keeping the normal fixed and you have instant easy perspective.
(I'm working on some 3D LED mapping and most of the math for that and this is basically the same)
I like these things, but kinda out of my price point. If it were available for like $200/ea then I could get funding to buy 20 - 50 of them for private gallery installation. Definitely would like to see this come back down in hardware costs.
So cool. Does it remember the "scene" later if you move the projector, come back, and want to use a previously saved "show"? Or do you have to keep the projector in place at all times for it to work?
I love it I love it! Looking forward to playing with audio synch!
I'm super liking this, I do have a question, it is possible to use my own visuals using this software? thank you blessings and congratulations for improving arts it is fantastic what you guys are doing
Too cool. Can't wait to get one. Keep up the good work!
I just got a LFC. Why does it only have half the functionality of the program you're using?
Hey LightForm, I was wondering if the software would allow a whole storyboard of effects along a determined duration. Could I scan some objects and go about creating a whole scene of shifting and changing effects for a song, or to tell a story with the scene i have set up?
Going to purchase this in the near future!
Hi there. Yes, you can create a storyboard with a slideshow. This will allow you to scan your scene and apply different effects one after the other in the way of powerpoint slides. You can determine their duration and loop them. You can also display the same, or different effects, in other objects from your scene. Don't hesitate to contact us at hello@lightform.com for any other product questions.
2 questions: Does LF2 does the scanning part as well then projection? Question 2: Does this already sync with the audio?
Would windows laptop do for the Light form n Epson home Cinema projector 1060 I just bought 2 days back. If windows laptop any kinda specification for the laptop. Appreciate your response. Thank you
Where can I buy a tripod like this?
I can't wait to get LF1
please make the published file an exportable video file i can put on a usb and run on the projector without LF1! please!
Hey there! We created Lightform to streamline the creation process for projected AR and eliminate the frustrations that come with “mapping blind,” therefore LF1 is an integral part of Lightform's "scan, create, and deploy" workflow. The Lightform Creator software heavily relies on the scan data captured by LF1, without LF1 you wouldn't be able to get a projector's-eye-view of your scene, and aligning your content would be very difficult. Many of Creator’s instant effects and selection tools use the scan image and won’t work without LF1. Scan enables types of effects that were previously impossible. Plus, LF1 allows you to wirelessly update your project, control effects, or trigger content from your phone using OSC. We do want to create a more affordable solution to mapping though and will think through if there is some way to create a paired down version of Lightform Creator that doesn’t rely on LF1.
@@Lightforminc I wonder if maybe he meant using the LF1 module to create a final project for a permanent installation and export that scene permanently as a video, which would then give the flexibility of using the module on another projector?
I have a question:
When you finish working with the Lightform Creator Software - the last step is to upload the video to the "device" - which is the LF1 I guess - so when you want to play the already finished and rendered video the LF1 acts like a conventional video/media player - right?
I´m considering the LF1 for multiple shopping window scenarios - and every shopping window would have to have the LF1 attatched to the projector - and only needed most of the time as a video/media player - right?
If this is true, this would be a huge waste of the potential of LF1.
So after the creation in the Lightform Creator Software - when the upload is done to a "device" - it would be much more efficient, if a normal video would be created that could feed the projector through a video/media player.
Please please please add this feature and don´t waste planet ressources and customer money and years in waiting for the needed LF1s in forcing for every simple just playing projection an extra LF1.
Hi gorrio12. Thanks your comment. Currently, exporting your Lightform Creator project to video file is not possible. The LF1 is designed to sit on top of the projector. Ultimately, content plays off of the LF1 and the camera can be useful for realignment or taking another scan if something moves in the scene. The LF1 serves as your media playback and hosting server. Moreover, you can directly control and interact with your project after it has been published (e.g., pause & play the project, advance through slides, adjust Live Effect's parameters in real-time). In greater detail, the LF1 will compute "Live Effects" in real-time during playback. With this, dynamic motion content is created and adapted to the contents of a given scene automatically. For these reasons and more, having the LF1 play back the project is a core part of the Lightform workflow. Please don't hesitate to contact us at hello@lightform.com if you have any further queries. We'll be happy to help.
i am really excited about getting Lightform !!!
We can't wait to see what you make with it!
fantastic amazing love it
Hi! Great products! Are they compatible with Unity3D?
we need full tutorial from A to Z if you please
Hi Ahmad. We are working on releasing tutorials, detailed specs and how to videos. You can take a look at the articles in our Lightform Guide here guide.lightform.com/hc/en-us If you have specific questions don't hesitate to contact us at hello@lightform.com.
I have a few of these now. When or where can I get more tutorials on using the device.
Hi Nick. Have you seen the tutorials in our Lightform Guide guide.lightform.com/hc/en-us and the Tested video lght.fm/Tested with a walk-through of the software? We are working on releasing more tutorials and how to videos. If you have specific product questions please don't hesitate to contacts us at hello@lightform.com Best, Alexandra.

What is the purpose of this?
Would this map a house for holiday projection?
What are the specs needed to project on a building using this software and program???
(I'm not associated with LightForm) Projection on a building would be projector spec's only. Get the highest lumens that you can find on a projector to do something like that.
This software looks like it would run on any computer 10 years old or newer.
Does this have the ability to run as a plug-in to other vj, mapping or interactive software? I use mad mapper, touch designer and have used resolume.
hi, what proyector do you use,?
Should be great have a video export to run on projectors without a Mac connected.
PS: Software can create a video syncronized with music?
Hi Chris, Yes, you can make some effects "live effects" which can be controlled via OSC to make the effects audio reactive.
@@Lightforminc Thanks... sounds interesting ;) I hope there will be a big manual to study!
We're currently hard at work on lots of video tutorials and support content!
I'm a VR artist, creating large surreal scenes in Virtual Reality. Is there an option to use the Lightform setup to project those scenes in large rooms, or outside, on rocks or trees or buildings?
Hi Rein. Yes, you can use Lightform to project on large scenes. Take a look at one of our other RUclips videos: ruclips.net/video/_AuxKOQB_ZI/видео.html. For more information and product questions don’t hesitate to contact us directly here: lightform.com/contact
@lightform Any update on Nov. wave shipping/billing? Trying to plan ahead projector wise. Currently have an option on hand that has a throw ratio of 1.38 - 2.24, 3200 lumens and I am aware the FAQ page mentions a lack of support for throw ratios beyond 1.8 but it does not fully explain if the max being exceeded makes it nonfunctional with L1. Could you clarify if it may cause scan/distance focus issues but can function if setup within range vs specs going excess max throw actually disable functionality as a whole with entirety of process? Just curious if we will need to seek new hardware to try it out when it does arrive... Thanks in advance from a excited customer and small group of artists ready to make magic with L1. 8]
Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. We sent a shipping update email on Thursday, November 15th, which explains which wave ships when and references the corresponding order number. Please check that your email client is not marking our messages as spam or promotions to ensure you receive our email updates moving forward. If you have trouble finding the shipping email, and for your specific range vs specs product question, please contact me at hello@lightform.com and I can give you all the info your need. Thanks for understanding. Cheers! Alexandra
Holy shit this is incredible.
Hi!!
What's the maximum distance that the camera can analyze from??
Hi Joel,
The general rule is that if Lightform can see the projected image and the projection is in focus, then it can perform a scan.
There are some limitations however, here are the specs:
Lightform has a minimum focus distance of 3' and no maximum focus distance. It works with projector throw ratios between 0.85 - 1.82. Lightform does not support long throw projectors over 1.82 throw ratio. Using a projector over 1.82 throw ratio may yield a low quality scan result. Lightform can scan almost any size scene, from a coffee cup to a large building.
Check out our How It Works page for more information about scene size and projector requirements: lightform.com/how-it-works
wow. impressive! can it sync the lights to music?
Hi Samson. Yes, if you want to use live music (via your microphone, or any other external input source) to control Lightform Effects, see our tutorial on Sound2Light guide.lightform.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044790174-Sound2Light-Create-Audio-Reactive-Visuals. If you have pre-recorded tracks that you want to synchronize your effects to, then take a look at our tutorial on Vezér (note that this is macOS only software) guide.lightform.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015876173-Vez%C3%A9r-Sync-Audio-to-Live-Effects.
This is so cool!
Can we Scan a real human and do projection on HIM/HER?
Hi Mikey. Lightform renders interactive content, like the instant effects that are real-time shaders running on the color and depth estimate scan of the scene. You can use external apps like OSC to trigger content on the Lightform. However, Lightform does not support real-time tracking. For more information and product questions don’t hesitate to contact us directly here: lightform.com/contact

Love you guys but, Dude, way to long between batches of LF-1 product. You need hire a Production Manager and Logistics Specialist. I have no sympathy for companies that take years to bring a promoted product to market - just to have the Chinese knock it off. You're taking orders for product that might ship 6 months from now! I order an obscure product from Amazon on Saturday, and it shows up at my door Sunday morning. That's the world we live in.
This video is months overdue and it's just a basic introductory. Idea: Write a script, then spend a full day to produce a 3 part comprehensive series on the app. I mean you only have 6 total videos for a company who has been at this for years. Since you're not producing product or tutorials . . . what is it you do with your days up there? I mean other than burning through VC money . . . and playing hacky sack
Hi Zebulon B, we know that shipping delays are frustrating. We had an overwhelming response to our initial launch, which sold out in August. We’ve now opened a second production run, and we’re scaling production as fast as we can to have those orders fulfilled as soon as possible. Rest assured, we’ve been hard at work improving upon the usability and reliability of the platform while simultaneously creating a detailed guide on how to use it. If you’d like to chat further, please contact us at orders@lightform.com. Thanks!
Yeah honestly we were very stoked to incorporate Lightform into our light visual and stage design but just knowing that you guys are already struggling to keep up with demand is disconcerting as a would be investor and consumer. It’s a shame because it’s clearly a revolutionary product.
I waited 9 months for my 7 units. Just place an order and wait..
