1. What Are the Key Elements of an Engaging Interactive Projection?
An engaging interactive projection seamlessly blends visual content with user interaction, creating an immersive experience. Key elements include:
Clear Call to Action: Incorporate idle animations or prompts like 'move to start' or 'play' to guide users into interaction.
Meaningful Interactions: Design interactions that are intuitive and contextually relevant, encouraging users to engage naturally.
Immersive Environments: Utilize projection mapping to transform spaces, creating dynamic and captivating visuals that draw users in.
Sensory Engagement: Incorporate audio and tactile feedback to enhance the immersive experience, making interactions more memorable.
2. How Can Projection Mapping Enhance User Engagement?
Projection mapping allows for the transformation of physical spaces into interactive canvases, significantly boosting user engagement. For instance, Nike's House of Innovation in New York City employs interactive projection mapping to create dynamic displays that respond to shoppers' movements, enhancing the retail experience.
To effectively implement projection mapping:
Understand the Space: Analyze the physical environment to ensure projections align with architectural features, creating a cohesive visual experience.
Use High-Quality Visuals: Employ high-resolution images and videos to maintain visual clarity and impact.
Ensure Interactivity: Integrate motion sensors or touch interfaces to allow users to interact with projections, making the experience more engaging.
3. What Role Does Audio Play in Interactive Projection Experiences?
Audio is a crucial component in creating immersive interactive projections. Incorporating subtle, appropriate sound effects can attract and engage an audience, even in noisy environments.
To effectively integrate audio:
Match Audio to Visuals: Ensure that sound effects correspond with visual elements to reinforce the narrative and enhance immersion.
Maintain Audio Quality: Use high-quality audio equipment to prevent distortion and ensure clarity.
Consider Acoustics: Be mindful of the venue's acoustics to optimize sound distribution and volume levels.
4. How Can Interactive Projection Be Applied in Various Settings?
Interactive projection can be tailored to fit diverse environments, enhancing user engagement across different contexts:
Retail Spaces: Create dynamic displays that respond to customer movements, as seen in Nike's House of Innovation, to enhance the shopping experience.
Educational Environments: Develop interactive learning tools that engage students through immersive content, fostering a more interactive learning experience.
Public Installations: Design projection mapping displays that transform public spaces, creating engaging experiences for the community.
5. What Are the Challenges in Designing Interactive Projection Experiences?
Designing interactive projection experiences presents several challenges:
Technical Complexity: Ensuring seamless integration of hardware and software to create a responsive and reliable system.
User Experience Design: Crafting intuitive interactions that are accessible to a wide audience.
Environmental Factors: Accounting for variables like ambient light and space constraints to maintain visual quality.

How to Write an Interactive-Effect Video Customisation Script ?
① Project Background: Briefly introduce the context in which this interactive scene will be used (e.g., exhibition, museum,
event space, children's area). Example: This scene is part of the “Underwater World” zone in a children's science museum,
designed to be engaging and exploratory.
②Visual Style / Atmosphere: What kind of visual mood are you aiming for? Please describe the color scheme, style, and any
references. it should focus solely on describing the visual aspects of the scene, supported by relevant charts or reference
images.
③ Interaction Points Overview：List each interactive hotspot along with the effect you'd like to trigger when the user
touches or clicks the area. example: when player touch the clownfish, it will swims away with bubble trail (animation effect)
and produce the bubble sound ( sound effect requirement )
④ Static Visual Reference：including but not limited to background image/video, a list of major visual elements (e.g., coral,
rocks, seaweed, fish), which elements should be interactive?
What about the wall/floor material for the projection？
It’s recommended to choose a light-colored material with minimal reflectivity—pure white or light grey works best. the
common material is cement & plaster board
For optimal projection results, the surface should be free of any patterns or textures, as the projector will display content
directly onto it.
There are no specific material requirements; you may use any commonly available material in your local market, as long as it
meets the above conditions.

3) After completing the above 2 steps, we will carry out the edge blending steps. Our team can complete it through remote
control.
In general, installation instructions for each project need to be specified on a project-by-project basis. The above is for
reference only.
What's the application of Immersive projection ?
It can be used in various venues, such as art exhibition, entertainment venues, educational institution, Wedding hall /Banquet/Bar,Yoga Studio and so on. It often involves advanced projection techniques, multimedia content, and interactive elements to engage and captivate the audience's senses.
Rapidly Rotating Bouncing Sphere is an interactive space where participants jump on rotating spheres. As they step on it, the spheres surface will show special interactivity
Jumping on spheres of the same color in succession causes them to pop, releasing light particles. The more consecutive jumps, the greater the reward—caterpillars appear, and eventually, all spheres of that color burst, filling the space with light and even more caterpillars.
Indoor interactive floor projections display dynamic themed videos on the floor, commonly used in venues aiming to enhance brand influence or attract foot traffic, such as restaurants, hotel corridors, and brand car retail stores.
By using projectors and compatible software, the interactive content is projected onto the floor, encouraging engagement between people and the projected visuals. A single 5500-lumen indoor floor projector can cover an area of 5 m × 3 m. Typically, each project will use at least 3 units to ensure broad coverage and optimal visual effects.
We also offer customized design and installation support to enhance the interactive experience for your venue.
