Insights

We collaborated with Merlin Magic Making to evolve our Figmersive projection mapped figure technology, achieving a significant leap in quality and technique. Our stabilisation and tracking system enhancements allowed for capturing live action, 3D mapping, and projecting onto a 3D-printed head, creating what we believe is the world's best 'Living Figure'. This immersive experience, part of the Broadway Musical exhibit at Madame Tussauds, New York, attracts thousands of visitors daily, showcasing the cutting-edge advancements in projection mapping technology.
