CHALLENGE:

Luxedo’s goal is to revolutionize outside home decorating with a projection mapping system that is easy to use by non-technical home owners, provides bright and exciting visual displays on the exterior of residential homes and can reliably perform outside in varying types of weather. They needed to design a software system that could evaluate the exterior surface and calibrate a projection mapping design that would maximize the colors and image quality that was displayed. Another large challenge was finding a reliable projector that could provide high resolution and high brightness as well as a cabinet to contain all these components and withstand the outdoor elements.

SOLUTION:

Meet the Luxedo Projection System, an all-in-one solution that can work on almost any surface and is easily customizable enabling users to change their home’s decorations throughout the year. The Luxedo Projection System comes complete with everything you need to create stunning high-definition 3D displays on any surface for any occasion. The system includes a 1080 HD wide angle camera, an Optoma 3,800 Lumen Native 1080p HD short throw laser projector, a powerful LuxCast CPU, an infrared projector control module, dual cooling fans, and a Wi-Fi adaptor all encased in an 18 gauge steel housing, so your projector will stay protected from the elements all year long.

“One of the hardest parts was finding a projector with a short throw lens that can produce the quality that our customers are expecting. Fortunately, Optoma has a huge lineup of short throw projectors with high brightness, great image quality and color reproduction that no other company has.” said the Chief Executive Officer for Luxedo. “We have been using Optoma projectors and it's been good.” Using the computer and Luxedo’s projection mapping software, home owners can project images and/or video onto the sides of their houses to help celebrate and decorate for Holidays and special occasions. For larger homes or buildings two or more systems can be edge blended together to make one huge projected display.

“Our customers just love the flexibility of being able to make something different that's interactive and that their kids can come out and watch.” said Luxedo’s CEO. “They also see many cars stopped and lined up in front of their houses to watch their five minute show”.
