Hi There,

For my next project, i was asked to use a big balloon as a video screen.
Now i am looking for a solution and/or software to correct the video output,
so that it looks normal on a round surface.

Hi Gijs,

I know there are some Quartz Composer patches out there that can warp
an image for projecting on a sphere, e.g.

http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/miscellaneous/domemirror/warppatch//

Maybe this could be useful for a balloon too?

Best,
Chris

Hi Gijs-

Some higher end projectors will have screen warping options built into
the projector settings. That might be easier than doing it in software.

best,
Dan

with the correct warping mesh, Paul's system would work for projecting
on a balloon. If you email him he might be able to help with how to
build the right mesh - he's very responsive, generally and a very cool
guy.

Hi gijs,

i reckon you are in the netherlands?
the guy who runs (or used to run) this company www.boomerlabs.com used to do something similar.
I used to work with Andre Goos and Jorg Schellekens at DENZO.
they have worked with him

contact them on www.denzo.org

good luck..
