This Is Probably The Best Projection Mapping Video Ever Created. Projection Mapping became a big hit in the past few years, and many brands use it for making cool looking ads outside over big buildings. Basically they all use the same shticks: Changing what you see in windows, making bricks fall down, or making part of the building explode.

This is why AntiVJ‘s “Omicron” is so different. This projection project was done indoors, inside Hala Stulecia in Wroclaw, Poland. Its a very old hall built 100 years ago, but with this projection it makes it look like structure we might have 100 years from now. Make sure to check out their behind the scenes video: O (Omicron) / Making of from Romain Tardy (AntiVJ) on Vimeo.

Genome 001 featuring Autopilot. Video projection mapping in geodesic dome. Spitball Media Projection Dome. Folding Geodesic Dome. Updated May 7 '012: The prototype is great for backyard use but not wind-proof enough for open desert. To make it more weatherproof, I have just taped all the tab hinges to cover the flutes and keep water out. The tape covers much of the face of each tab to give it extra friction along with spray tack adhesive on all tabs, but in testing this setup still blows apart in strong gusts/dust devils. Using clips to secure the tabs still allows too much slippage and the panels come apart from each other.

Next method to test: heavy-duty staples to secure tabs to each other, which of course would need a staple-puller to minimize damage to tabs. This seems like a fast way to erect the dome, but it would slow the deconstruction process. Once deployed I add short strips of tape across all joints on the outside of the dome to bolster it against slippage, and around the door joints. Putting this up in windy conditions would be problematic; morning while it’s cool and calm is the ideal time. Constructing Our Geodesic Dome — ByExample.com. After a year of living and camping in the desert, Patrick and I decided to build a geodesic dome structure to provide us with shade and shelter from the elements. Simple picnic tents and EZ-up shelters that are commonly used just won't cut it in this desert environment. Strong and gusty winds often blow in unexpectedly and are known to mangle inadequate structures without regard. We chose to build a geodesic dome because of its inherent stability and natural resistance to strong winds.

What is a Geodesic Dome? First we did some research on dome construction to see what materials would be needed. Geodesic domes are comprised of a network of triangles that form a somewhat spherical surface. We found that there are several dome classes that are referred to as 1V, 2V, 3V etc. Higher class domes offer greater structural stability and are ideal for larger dome frames.
