Update

We have met with the Porsche dealership and they are happy for us to project onto a vehicle. They have also expressed an interest in showing the project in the showroom which means we have to pull it off and do it well. We had to examine Porsche as a brand and realised the kinect idea may not work best for the brand. We have decided to work with it as a tablet that controls the projection, still showing what the chosen car will look like. I have already began to patch it in  VVVV.

Pre-Modelling the Car

To projection map onto the car, my thought is that we will initally have to model it or find one already modeled for us. This is to have the right measurements when designing what will be projected onto the map. Im not totally sure what software we are using at this point as we wish to have interactivity but i will look up some CAD designs for now. We are also unsure on the vehicle model.

Disguise Software

In my search to find the right software for the task, i came across some software by Disguise (formally known as D3). This would be great for what we are after but how could it work with interactivity?

Interactive Projection at Blechley Park

Whilst visiting Blechley Park, i came across an interesting part of it that featured a room of interactive games. I decided to play around with it to see how it worked.

These were a few examples i found of projection mapping and vehicles. http://eventprojection.co.uk/case-study/ford-smax-case/ http://eventprojection.co.uk/work/dirt-four-promo-video/

Tech Specs

I thought i would email a few visual companies to see if they had any technical specifications from old projection mapping events for us to look at. This could give us a base to work with and also show us a few extra things we could throw in. As of yet, i am waiting to hear back from one place in regards to my questions.
