Iqhda Projection Mapping & Edge Blending FAQ
Projection mapping is a visual technology that turns real-world objects into dynamic video displays. It works by mapping 3D surfaces digitally and aligning projected visuals precisely to create immersive, interactive environments.
Typically, you’ll need high-lumen projectors, a capable computer, mapping software like Resolume Arena or MadMapper, and accessories such as HDMI splitters, mounts, and blending tools for alignment.
Edge blending merges overlapping areas from multiple projectors into a single, seamless image. The software balances brightness and color across overlaps, removing visible lines and achieving smooth visual continuity.
Edge blending uses gradient masks, gamma correction, and real-time calibration to ensure that brightness and color stay consistent between projectors, producing a unified display that appears as one large image.
Projection mapping works best on stable, reflective, and evenly colored surfaces such as walls, buildings, cars, or stages. Complex shapes require 3D scanning and calibration for accurate visual alignment.
Popular tools include TouchDesigner, Resolume Arena, MadMapper, and Watchout. Many projectors also include built-in warping and blending utilities for precise adjustments.
2D mapping projects visuals onto flat surfaces, while 3D mapping contours visuals around real-world objects, creating illusions of motion, transformation, or depth through accurate 3D modeling.
For indoor setups, 5,000–10,000 lumens per projector is typical. Outdoor mapping or large buildings may require projectors rated above 20,000 lumens for visibility in ambient light.
Yes — architectural projection mapping is widely used for events, brand activations, and public shows. Outdoor setups require high-brightness projectors, weatherproof housing, and precise calibration.
Costs depend on scale, hardware, and creative production. Small setups start around $3,000–$5,000, while large immersive shows or building-scale mappings can exceed $50,000.
Yes, projection mapping can start with any digital projector. However, professional results require higher brightness and resolution to maintain clarity on larger or outdoor surfaces.
Regular projection is limited to flat screens, whereas projection mapping aligns visuals onto real-world 3D shapes, creating immersive optical illusions and motion effects.
Smooth, matte, and light-colored surfaces work best. Avoid glossy or transparent materials since they reflect or distort the light projection.
Smaller indoor mappings can be ready in a day or two, while large architectural projections with multiple projectors and 3D content may take 1–2 weeks of setup and testing.
It can, but visuals are less visible due to ambient light. Projection mapping looks best in low-light or nighttime environments for maximum impact and color accuracy.
Maintenance is minimal for laser projectors, which last over 20,000 hours. Regular cleaning and recalibration ensure consistent image quality and color balance.
Yes, motion sensors, cameras, or touch systems can make projections interactive. This allows users to engage directly with visuals for entertainment, education, or brand storytelling.
Projection mapping is popular in entertainment, architecture, museums, advertising, education, retail, and automotive showcases to create high-impact visual experiences.
Yes, combining AR/VR with projection mapping creates mixed-reality environments that blend digital elements with physical spaces for immersive effects.
Common issues include using dim projectors, ignoring calibration, poor alignment, and unoptimized content resolution. Proper setup and testing fix most problems.
Iqhda Interactive Bowling FAQ
Interactive bowling, also known as augmented reality bowling, combines real bowling lanes with projection mapping and sensors to create dynamic visuals, effects, and games that react to each throw in real time.
The system uses high-speed cameras or sensors above the lane to detect ball movement, then projects animated visuals on the lane or pin deck using synchronized projection mapping software.
Traditional bowling focuses only on scoring, while interactive bowling adds themed visuals, motion graphics, and mini-games — turning each throw into a fun, immersive experience for players and spectators.
Yes. The gameplay is fully physical. Real bowling balls and pins are used; only the visuals and scoring enhancements are digital and projected in real time.
Yes. Most modern bowling alleys can be upgraded. Our system installs above-lane projectors and sensors without altering your existing equipment or lane surface.
Each lane includes projectors, lane cameras or sensors, a local processing server, and a controller. Optional ceiling lights, pin-deck projectors, and audio systems can enhance the environment.
Typically, one projector covers the lane surface and another covers the pin-deck or back wall for extra animation. Multi-lane setups use synchronized projectors across all lanes for visual consistency.
Yes. We design branded themes, holiday effects, or promotional visuals for corporate events or tournaments. You can also schedule different modes throughout the day.
Players can choose from themes like space, underwater, racing, fantasy, or competitive modes. Mini-games like target challenges, multiplayer competitions, or team scoring add variety and replay value.
No. The standard scoring system remains unchanged. The AR effects only enhance the visual experience and entertainment level without altering game rules.
Yes — our plug-and-play setup adapts to most lane dimensions and existing scoring systems without requiring major modifications.
A minimum ceiling height of 2.8–3 meters is recommended for optimal projector throw and accurate sensor coverage.
You can start with as few as two lanes. Many clients install interactive bowling on selected lanes as a premium attraction before expanding to the full alley.
Yes. Soundtracks, strike effects, and ambient music can sync perfectly with visuals to create a complete sensory experience.
Installation time depends on the number of lanes. A standard two-lane system takes about 2–3 days; full 10-lane installations take up to a week including calibration and testing.
Yes. High-brightness projectors ensure visibility even under moderate lighting. Dimming lights slightly enhances contrast and color performance.
Absolutely. We release new content regularly, and you can update your system through our online content library or by importing custom-designed games.
