Projection Mapping
Deep Space Drive-In has been projection mapping professionally for close to 10 years in and around the Denver Metro Area. As a key offering, they have been able to bring large scale projection, content creation, and mapping to artists and organizations looking for new forms of expression.
Beyond collaborating with partners and groups, DSDI also teaches accessible workshops on projection mapping with small class sizes, hands-on lab instruction, and time using industry standard software/equipment.
