The projection mapping technology presented by LightAct employs cameras for automated projector calibration, complemented by active markers that enhance precision and speed. This setup ensures accurate content projection onto various shapes and surfaces, facilitating seamless integration into diverse environments.
Central to LightAct’s offerings is their flagship software, LightAct 4, which serves as a comprehensive tool for designing and managing shows. The software features a user-friendly interface with a viewport for design, a timeline for video layers, and mapping tools to align content with specific displays. Additionally, it supports integration with other technologies prevalent in the live event industry, enhancing its versatility.
LightAct also offers a range of hardware solutions tailored to different project requirements. Their smallest server, the Mini, is compact yet capable, suitable for installations where space is limited. The Unit server provides a balance between performance and size, ideal for fixed installations. For more demanding applications, the Double and reActor servers deliver high performance and versatility, particularly beneficial for live events and rental markets.
The company’s clientele spans rental houses, public institutions, museums, and interactive installations worldwide. LightAct’s products have been utilized in various projects, including live shows in China, car unveilings, real estate showcases, retail environments, and museums, demonstrating their global reach and adaptability.
In addition to their hardware and software solutions, LightAct has developed LightTrack, a markerless tracking system that integrates seamlessly with their media servers. This technology enables the creation of interactive spaces without the need for physical markers, enhancing the immersive experience in live events and installations.
At ISE 2025, LightAct also announced the winner of their “Bring the Spring” Projection Mapping Competition. The winning project was showcased at their booth, exemplifying the creative potential of their technology and their commitment to fostering innovation in the field of projection mapping.
