Projection Simulator gets on the map

Projection Simulator is a free web application from Digital Projection which is designed to help users find the right projector to meet a variety of install conditions. Available in nine languages, it calculates throw distances between screens and projectors, as well as determines the relationship between the size and distance of a projected image. Projection Simulator also provides recommendations for optimal projector placement.

Its Single Projection mode is designed for use cases where one projector is available, while Multi Projection mode allows users to import, select and arrange 3D objects for projection mapping. It can also provide information on projectors that align with needs and provide basic specifications of a suggested product.

Providing the ability to fine-tune installation conditions such as room size, screen settings and projection position, the software provides both 2D and 3D visualisation and will also alert users if the projected image intersects with walls, ceilings or floors.
