:::::: LED MAPPATHON ™ ::::::

Mappathon™ is inspired by events called hackathons where computer programmers, graphic designers, interface designers and project managers collaborate intensively on software projects in a limited time. It teaches the latest projection mapping technology and techniques to students, enabling them to create a site-specific interactive or static projection mapping installation.

LED Mappathon™ teaches the basic knowledge of projection mapping technique to control LED lights installations. The course has three learning stages: Making animation from static images and mixing video contents to control LED lights, how to set up hardware to control LED lights, basic LED light setup and installation. The outcome of projects can include media installations, interactive objects, and light performances.
