Interactive projection mappings in a Japanese traditional house

Abstract

We introduce interactive projection mappings in a traditional Japanese house. In Japanese traditional houses, sliding doors / windows called shoji are often used. The shoji is a panel stuck with paper on the frame of the tree, and it can be used as a projector screen. We created two types of interactive projection mappings on shoji (Figure 1(a)(b)). Other characteristics of Japanese traditional houses is tatami: straw mats flooring. We also created an interactive projection mapping on tatami flooring (Figure 1(c)).
