Dynamic Projector Mapper

Overview

A real-time dynamic projection mapping system developed at the CMU School of Design. The system uses an Optitrack motion capture setup to track the 6-DOF position and rotation of multiple rigid objects simultaneously, then uses that data to project media onto them with pixel-perfect alignment from a fixed high-FOV 4K projector — even as the objects move.

My Role

Co-developed with Daniel Munoz Rosenberg. Designed the Optitrack-to-Unity pipeline, real-time projection frustum math, and multi-object tracking architecture.

Key Features

• Sub-millimeter accurate projection alignment using Optitrack rigid body tracking
• Supports multiple independently moving objects simultaneously
• Fixed projector — no need to move the projector as objects move
• 4K output for high-resolution media projection
• Unity-based real-time rendering pipeline
