EasyMapper Studio is projection mapping you can actually carry. Take any image or video from your phone and warp it onto walls, stages, sculptures, or any physical surface — using just an iPhone and a projector. No laptop, no expensive software, no setup nightmares. PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION EasyMapper Studio's full feature set requires a Premium subscription. Without Premium you can install the app and explore the interface; Premium unlocks everything below. KEY FEATURES (Premium) • Multi-layer editing — stack images and videos on the same projection. Drag, warp, and arrange each layer independently. • Corner-drag perspective transform — tap a corner of any layer and drag it to align with your projection surface. The math is handled. • Timeline — schedule when each layer appears. Drag blocks on a per-layer track, scrub to preview, hit play, and your whole show runs itself. • Warp videos or animated shaders onto different layers with optimal performance. • Reactive room effects — fill the space with particles, swarms, and bursts that respond to motion and the music playing in the room. • Move tool — drag entire layers around with one finger. Pinch-zoom for precision. • Real-time preview — the editor mirrors exactly what the projector sees. • Photos and videos from your Camera Roll. Videos loop automatically. • Built-in shader and sprite library to get started in seconds, with a customizable mesh grid to help you line up empty layers before you even add media. PERFECT FOR • Social media — turn your bedroom wall into a content backdrop • Live events — VJ-style backdrops, stage decoration, branded installations • Galleries and pop-ups — quick projection art without a desktop rig • Prototyping installations before committing to expensive software WHAT YOU NEED • An iPhone (this app) • A projector (any cheap one works) • A USB-C or Lightning to HDMI adapter • A surface to project onto EasyMapper Studio handles the rest.
