Digital mapping and Our Lady of course....

So, there is this brilliant thing that the brainerds have figured out somewhere probably at CalTech or MIT that they can architecturally digitally map a structure, and as the know its facade depths can then project onto the surface and make it appear as flat. They can then make it look as if it moves, or is in the sunlight, on fire and so forth. They did this for the festival de Notre Dame on Notre Dame, which was something the Catholic church did to recruit new members. There was a live show and things like that preceding the below presentation. I recorded a small bit of it and put it on youtube so you can see what I mean. Unfortunately this was shot on my phone so it is a bit shaky and not too bright. I suggest you look at this full screen, on a bright screen, in a dark room.

The above photo is taken the night before when they illuminated the building and were testing to make sure that everything being projected onto the facade was matching up with the actual structure of what is on the facade. All the saint's robes were colored, and faces were drawn, and every detail was recreated. It was really quite amazing to see the entire building animated, as if it really moved. Video capture really doesn't do it justice. They are doing this more and more, so I think it will some come to a place near you.
