New guides for this section are on the way.
Projection Mapping, Interactive Installations and Live Visuals
This hub collects Demos Lab's guides to digital art built for physical space: projection mapping onto buildings and objects, sensor-driven installations, LED sculptures, live VJ sets and fully immersive rooms. It is written for creative coders, media artists and technicians who want to plan, build and run work outside the screen, from a first projector test at home to a gallery show or festival commission.

Practical walkthroughs on aligning projectors to real surfaces, warping and masking content, blending multiple outputs, and choosing hardware that suits your throw distance and ambient light.
Interactive Installation Builds
How to connect depth cameras, sensors and microcontrollers to generative visuals so that an audience's movement, touch or sound changes the piece in real time.

Guides to driving LED strips, panels and custom fixtures over DMX and Art-Net, with advice on wiring, power planning and pixel mapping that holds up on site.
VJing and Immersive Rooms
