Instead of projecting onto a building, Glue Isobar projects a CG car directly onto a real Toyota Auris Hybrid. With seven projectors working together, the result is a true 3D, 360-degree projection mapping experience on all sides of the car. You can walk around it and experience the visuals from any angle.
What makes this projection mapping different
The twist is the surface. A real car brings complex curves, edges, and reflections. Mapping to that shape, and keeping the illusion consistent as people move around it, is the challenge that makes this feel genuinely new.
How the experience is delivered
The work uses a mix of keyframe, 2D, 3D, algorithmic, and dynamic animation to deliver the experience. The projection setup supports a 360-degree view so the story holds up from multiple angles, not just a single “best seat”.
Why this lands as a launch moment
This format turns a product reveal into a live event. It gives people a reason to stop, watch, walk around, and talk. The car is not just displayed. It is performed.
A few fast answers before you act
What is 3D projection mapping in this example?
It is the technique of projecting animated visuals onto a physical object, aligned to its shape so the imagery appears to belong to the object rather than a flat screen.
Why use seven projectors?
To cover the full vehicle and maintain the illusion across multiple surfaces, including areas you can only see when walking around the car.
What makes “360-degree” important for live audiences?
People do not stand in one spot. If the experience works from many angles, it feels real in a public space and stays compelling as crowds move.
What is the main lesson for product launches?
Make the product the stage. When the object itself becomes the canvas, the experience feels specific, memorable, and inherently shareable.
