About the 3D Anaglyph Projection Mapping to be Screened This is an evolved version of the projection mapping using "red-blue glasses (anaglyph glasses)" that gained attention when screened in 2021. It offers a more three-dimensional and immersive visual experience than conventional projection mapping. Created by FLIGHTGRAF (Japan), the 2013 winner of the 1minute Projection Mapping Competition and now a top creator active worldwide, this ultra-immersive projection mapping themed around Tokyo is a must-see! Anaglyph glasses will be distributed to those in chair seats and premium table seats and can be taken home. FLIGHTGRAF Winner of the Grand Prix at the 2013 competition, FLIGHTGRAF has since accumulated numerous awards and experience at international events while continuing their unique exploration of projection mapping expression. They produce high-quality works through exceptional CG, a stoic worldview, and meticulous coordination with music, while also tackling expressions involving light effects. They are now active as one of Japan's leading, world-class visual creators. An after-movie showcasing the September event is now available! The after-movie capturing the "1minute Projection Mapping Competition 2024" has been completed.
