'TIS THE SEASON Light up your porch with glowing jack-o'-lanterns, crawling spiders, swarming ghosts, and cackling witches — then schedule the whole haunted display to trigger on a timeline so trick-or-treaters get a show, not a static sticker on your window. EasyMapper Studio — projection mapping you can actually carry, straight from your iPhone. Turn any photo, video, or shader into a projection-mapped scene on walls, porches, sculptures, or storefronts. Warp it to fit the surface with your finger, then run it live through a projector. No laptop, no DMX rig, no QLab license — just your phone and a cheap HDMI projector. 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) Mapping & Warping - Corner-drag perspective transform — tap any corner of a layer and drag it to match your projection surface; the keystone/perspective math is handled for you. - Multi-layer editing — stack unlimited images, videos, and shaders on one projection. Move, resize, warp, and reorder each layer independently. - Customizable mesh grid overlay to line up empty layers before adding media. - Move tool with one-finger drag and pinch-to-zoom for precise placement. - Real-time preview that mirrors exactly what the projector is outputting. Media & Shaders - Import photos and videos straight from your Camera Roll; video loops automatically. - Built-in animated shader library (flame, auroras, and more) that warps cleanly onto any mapped surface. - Halloween effects library — pumpkins, witches, bats, crawling spiders, ghost swarm, skeleton, spooky emoji, fireflies, meteors, and fireworks, alongside year-round effects like rain, snow, bubbles, falling balls, rockets, and notes. - Audio-reactive particles and swarms that pulse and move with the music playing in the room — no external sync hardware needed. Show Control - Timeline — schedule when each layer or effect appears on a per-layer track. Drag blocks to set cues, scrub to preview, hit play, and the show runs itself. - Cue-based playback built for walk-up audiences: trick-or-treaters, party guests, or gallery visitors trigger a scene without you touching the phone. Output - USB-C/Lightning-to-HDMI output to any projector — wired for a rock-solid signal, not Wi-Fi that drops when the porch fills with trick-or-treaters. PERFECT FOR - Halloween — jack-o'-lanterns, haunted windows, porch projections, yard displays - Social media — turn a bedroom wall into a content backdrop in minutes - Live events — VJ-style backdrops, stage decoration, branded installations - Galleries and pop-ups — 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 — wall, window, pumpkin, tombstone, you name it EasyMapper Studio handles the rest.
