This is an evolved version of the projection mapping using “red and blue glasses (anaglyph glasses)” that was screened in 2021 and attracted a lot of attention. It offers a more three-dimensional and immersive visual experience that cannot be experienced with normal projection.
This ultra-immersive projection mapping with a Tokyo theme is a must-see work created by FLIGHTGRAF (Japan), a top creator group who is currently active around the world and was the winner of the 2013 1minute Projection Mapping Competition! Anaglyph glasses will be distributed to those with chair seats and premium table seats and you can take them home.
◆ FLIGHTGRAF
They won the Grand Prize during the 2013 competition and has since won many awards and gained experience at competitions around the world while continuing his own unique quest for projection mapping expression. They have produced numerous high-quality works using outstanding CG, a stoic worldview, and close coordination with music, and are also working on expressions that incorporate lighting.
They are currently active as one of the world’s leading video creators, representing Japan.
