The prices are on the website. Most of them are $99.

looks like you don"t get software only a dvd configured to your house.

That's the way I read it too.  Sort of like buying CCR sequences which are already finished.  Seems like it would be a good way to see how video mapping would look on your house without investing in the software only to find out later that it didn't work out in your circumstances.

 I watched the tutorial, seems you get your projector first, project the PAINT app on to your house and outline it. send in the outline and money and they send a small sample clip back to make sure it works, if it does they send you the file of the video you purchased.

 

Thanks for posting that, was interesting!

Haha ... I see many of us waiting to Jump on this boat. My wife said I need to get it out of my mind.   I told her I wear the pants when it comes to the light show.

I told my wife that once too; she cut the legs off the pants.  I got the hint.

I added video last year to mine with some video projecting and mapping. It was by far the biggest addition to my show this year it added a whole new dimension. visitors loved Frozen that was projected on the entire house with some pretty cool effects made in Powerdirector. Also Josh Groban's I'll be home for Christmas,troop version, with videos of our soldiers reuniting with their families. It takes some time to get your projector to lined up and the exact location every time you move it, I brought mine in every night. Once you get your mount secure and have the house outlined for masking. Everything else was done on my laptop.

I'm really impressed with the videos. I would love to try this but the cost of a projector plus at least one file set up for it...if it doesn't work, I'm out some money. I'm tempted though. The trick is my garage is set on a side so even though its white door type, no one could see except on that side. I'd have to mount a screen type something up on the roof or a silk-screen type arrangement on some surface. Fantastic idea.

FYI: I'm working on a project to run three different videos from LOR into three different projectors.

Three wide video plays great, then gonna send it out three different directions. I'm optimistic.

More details on the Facebook page for LOR.

And a final how-to video when complete.

I gave directions on the LOR FaceBook page, but generally you create a video two or three times wider than normal and put your videos in either the first or second "frame" and send it out that way. An outboard video divider splits it out to each projector.

 

There are three ways to get multiple videos out: USB video adapter, Matrox splitter, and a multiple output video card.

 

I'll be producing a how-to video when it's complete.

 

 

Kinda cumbersome, but you could use a third party piece of software to switch with a Command Line command from LOR

So I'm wondering if we can use two projectors, get LOR to command both of them at the same time, playing the same video file? The reason is that white garage door is mounted sideways to the street, therefor no one can see it unless viewed from one direction only. But was thinking I could create a screen up on the roof for a second projector to do the same main video too. Also, getting a video feed out to the projectors from the computer at high enough speed. Certainly would need a faster machine by far to run it. Spliiting for HDMI would be needed and then if that company would provide two different videos of the same song for the two projectors? I'm sure they would for twice the price but would have to ask. Shadows from existing things like megatrees and so on would be an issue too I suppose.
