Laser tracing on video wall

[Yash Velguenkar]

I have seen videos where lasers draw on video walls following exact content on the video wall. i was wondering how we do that? is there a third party app that integrates with beyond ? how do we carry out those complex mapping sequences? i want to know how to make the laser do it.

Its purely cleaver placement. There is no real mapping going on. It's mainly done with the advanced draw editor.

Are you tellling me its all done by drawing it all out in beyond and then manually alligning it on the screen?

 

[Bob@Pangolin]

Yes, often this is done this way.

Laser line draws are, as Bob said, essentially done manually within Beyond. This is the only method I know of for precise laser line draws. If you are looking for automated ways of laser-to-video/audio interaction, there are programs like Touch Designer and Mad Laser that have some features. I'm hoping that Pangolin eventually develops internal features for laser-to-video mapping (fingers crossed).
