LumiCanvas makes projection mapping easy for everyone. Connect your iPhone or iPad to any projector and map video, photos, and glowing shapes onto real-world surfaces — your house, your windows, your Halloween graveyard, your Christmas display. No expensive software. No learning curve. Just drag four corners and watch your video bend perfectly onto any surface. HOW IT WORKS • Connect to any projector (HDMI adapter or AirPlay) • Add a surface and drag its corners to match your wall, window, or object • Fill it with your own videos and photos — or grab ready-made loops • Layer multiple surfaces for complex displays POWERFUL TOOLS, ZERO EXPERIENCE NEEDED • Custom Trace: outline any shape — an arch, a pumpkin, a window frame — and fill it with light • Mask packs: hearts, stars, holiday shapes, and more • Crop any video to show exactly the slice you want • Test grid for fast, precise projector alignment • Show scheduler: set each surface to appear at its own time for choreographed displays • Fixed 1080p canvas: build on your phone, run on your iPad — projects work everywhere BUILT FOR HOLIDAY MAGIC Haunted houses, spooky window ghosts, snowfall on your roofline, dancing lights — if you can point a projector at it, LumiCanvas can map it. BUILD A SHOW, NOT JUST A PICTURE With LumiCanvas Pro's Show Timeline, each surface gets its own track. Lay clips along them and your display changes as the evening goes on — a figure that appears in an upstairs window, a door that opens on its own, trim lights running the whole time underneath. LumiCanvas Pro (optional subscription) removes the watermark and unlocks everything: unlimited surfaces, all mask packs, and every new feature as it ships.
