Multi-projector arrays, projection mapping and complex screen shapes and surfaces require expert image configuration, alignment, warping and blending – processes that can take hours of painstaking work. Christie^® Mystique^™ is an automated camera-based alignment and recalibration solution that lets you quickly install, align, calibrate and maintain multi-projection systems.

Product compatibility

3D mapping technology (also called projection mapping or spatial augmented reality) is a technology used to project a 2D or 3D object onto a display surface through spatial mapping. 3D mapping is often used by advertisers and artists to add dimension, movement, and depth to previously static objects such as buildings or stages. Projection mapping, also known as video mapping and spatial augmented reality, is a projection technology used to turn objects, often irregularly shaped, into a display surface for video projection. These objects may be complex industrial landscapes, such as buildings, small indoor objects or theatrical stages. Christie Mystique Multi-projector arrays, projection mapping and complex screen shapes and surfaces require expert image configuration, alignment, warping and blending – processes that can take hours of painstaking work.

Mapio is the best software for video mapping if you want to create projection shows, as it not only lets you use a standard screen, but also any inclines like cylindrical and spherical shapes, among others. The multi-projector-mapper (MPM) is an open-source software framework for 3D projection mapping using multiple projectors. It contains a basic rendering infrastructure, and interactive tools for projector calibration. For calibration, the method given in Oliver Bimber and Ramesh Raskar’s book Spatial Augmented Reality, Appendix A, is used. An affordable and easy to use projection mapping software. Featuring out of the box effects. Video, camera, Kinect, and capture device input. Communication with Arduino for led strip control and DMX output. Syphon input and output for use with other VJ software. Built in edge tracing and automatic layer effects.

Christie Pandoras Box

Christie Mystique¹ integrates directly with Christie Pandoras Box^® Version 6, enabling automated camera-based alignment and calibration for large-scale projections, regardless of the projector you use.

¹Our Mystique Lite software can only be used with Christie proejctors.
* Supported webcams: Logitech c920 and Logitech c920s
** Warping and blending only. No stacking.
Supported projectors: Current Christie HS Series 1DLP projectors, Boxer Series, Crimson Series, 4K40-RGB series, Griffyn 4K32-RGB, and current Mirage Series projectors, except M Series models.
*** Supports up to 12 projectors in a 2 high x 3 wide configuration, double-stacked
**** Number of projectors limited by capable resolution of the single camera
***** Screens include primitive shapes including flat, curved or dome shapes, or by importing a screen model. Custom screen shapes should be smooth, continuous screens
