Patent attributes
A method and apparatus for automated projection mapping previsualization is provided. A computer model of an object is received, at a controller of a device, from a publicly accessible remote mapping server, the computer model comprising a publicly available three-dimensional computer model, the computer model defining an object in geographic coordinates and elevation coordinates, the object located at given geographic coordinates. The controller generates a time dependent previsualization projection mapping model for the object using images to be projected onto the object, the computer model, and data for generating one or more of Sun behavior and the Moon behavior at the given geographic coordinates. The controller controls a display device to render a previsualization of the time dependent previsualization projection mapping model.
