What hardware is needed for a projection mapping game? | Insights by Mantong
1. Projectors
Projectors are fundamental to projection mapping, as they display digital content onto physical surfaces. When selecting a projector, consider the following:
- Resolution: Higher resolutions (e.g., 1080p or 4K) provide clearer and more detailed images.
- Brightness: A higher lumen rating ensures visibility in various lighting conditions. For instance, projectors with over 4,000 lumens are suitable for large screens or rooms with ambient light.
- Throw Distance: Determine the distance between the projector and the projection surface to choose an appropriate lens type.
2. Computers and Media Servers
A robust computer or media server is essential for controlling projections and managing content:
- Processing Power: A dual-core processor with a clock speed above 1.7 GHz and at least 2 GB of RAM is recommended for basic setups. For more complex projects, higher specifications may be necessary.
- Graphics Card: A dedicated graphics card with at least 1 GB of memory ensures smooth rendering of high-resolution content.
- Software Compatibility: Ensure the computer or server is compatible with projection mapping software, which may require specific operating systems and hardware configurations.
3. Sensors and Tracking Devices
Incorporating sensors enhances interactivity by detecting user movements and interactions:
- LiDAR Systems: LiDAR sensors can detect user interactions on the projected surface, enabling real-time responses. These systems often include infrared lights and sensors to track movements accurately.
- Motion Capture Devices: Devices like Microsoft's Kinect can capture the geometry and colors of the surrounding environment, allowing projections to adapt to the physical space.
4. Media Players
Media players are essential for storing and playing media content:
- Resolution: Match it to the projector's maximum resolution.
- Input Options: USB or SD inputs facilitate easy transfer of media files.
- Looping Feature: Enables continuous playback of content.
5. Mounting and Installation Equipment
Proper mounting ensures stability and optimal projection:
- Mounting Systems: Use sturdy tripods or ceiling mounts to position projectors accurately.
- Cables and Adapters: Ensure you have the necessary cables (HDMI, Ethernet) and adapters to connect your computer to the projector.
6. Interactive Projection Mapping Software
Software allows for mapping content onto surfaces and managing projections:
- Features: Look for software that supports real-time interaction, content mapping, and synchronization with other devices.
- Compatibility: Ensure the software is compatible with your hardware setup.

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.
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.

What's Immersive Projection ？
Immersive projection refers to a technology that creates a captivating and all-encompassing visual experience for viewers by projecting images or videos onto large surfaces, such as walls, floors, or even entire rooms. This technology aims to immerse the audience in a simulated environment, blurring the boundaries between the physical and virtual worlds.
What information do you need to know before making the proposal/solution?
We know that everyone wants to know the price, but the price of our products is determined by many factors since most of our products are custom, so no ready price list. In order to fast understand what you need, can you send us an inquiry like this?
For example: I am really interested in your immersive projection products, we are a company in the USA and want to install some in my restaurant. It is about 50 meters long, and 5m in width. Projection size you can decide but the length should be not less than 20 meters. We want some content about SeaWorld because our place is all about the sea. Thank you.
Interactive Painting Projection Games is a 3D interactive projection drawing game carefully designed by our company for children aged 2 & above. It combines AR technology to transform children's doodles and drawings into lifelike 3D animations that are both audio-visual and interactive. also It offers a multi-sensory experience of visual, auditory, and tactile sensations, stimulating children's boundless artistic inspiration
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.
A variety of interactive games solution for your kids playing area, such as interactive small ball games, trampoline interactive games, slide interactive projection games, drawing interactive wall projection games, interactive floor games, kinect interactive games and so on. it’s interactive solutions designed based on your needs.
