Light Mapping turns your iPhone into a real-time projection mapping studio. Point, drop the corners, project. No laptop, no After Effects, no three-hour setup. Whether you're prepping a party in your living room, building a light installation for an event, dressing a club, mapping a façade for a concert, or just casting visuals that dance on your wall everything happens from your phone in a few taps. ▸REAL-TIME MAPPING Add as many shapes as you want (rectangles, triangles, circles, or contours auto-traced from an image). Adjust every corner pixel-perfect so it hugs the surface you're projecting on. What you see in the editor is what lands on the wall, live. ▸ VISUALS WITH NO LIMITS Fill your shapes with photos from your library, videos, built-in animated effects, or solid colours. Each shape can carry its own media — or share a single visual stretched across several shapes ("Across Layers") for continuous mapping across a triptych, façade, or wall run. ▸ CONNECTS TO ANYTHING Works with: • AirPlay (Apple TV, compatible TVs) • HDMI via USB-C or Lightning adapter • Any standard HDMI video projector ▸ FLEXIBLE ORIENTATION Projector mounted sideways? Mapping onto a door, column, or arch? Rotate the projection frame 90° and compose directly in portrait. ▸ USE CASES • Content creators — reuse the same setup for TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts • DJs & VJs — real-time visuals across club walls and ceilings without pro gear • Visual artists — mock up an installation before setting it up for real • Weddings & events — decorative projections on walls, ceilings, floral arches • Interior design — turn your bedroom into a cinema, aquarium, or starlit sky ▸ SIMPLE WORKFLOW 1. Open a project, add a shape 2. Drag the corners onto your surface 3. Pick a visual (your photo library, a video, an effect) 4. Connect to your projector (AirPlay or HDMI) 5. Project and save the project for next time ▸ NO HEAVY SETUP No computer, no pro software, no endless cables. Your iPhone plus a projector is enough.
