4D projection mapping is one of the most incredible display technologies for ambient ads and guerrilla marketing used today. We hand-picked 7 incredible and jaw-dropping examples for you!

Projection mapping, also known as video mapping and spatial augmented reality, is a projection technology used to turn objects, sometimes buildings, into a display surface for video projection. Advertisers use Video Mapping to add extra dimensions, optical illusions, and the impression of movement onto static objects. Usually, the video is combined with audio to create an impressive audio-visual narrative.

We want to let you know that some of these videos are over 10 minutes in length. We suggest you bookmark the page to come back and enjoy them at your leisure!!

7- The Official Ralph Lauren 4D Experience – London

In celebration of 10 years of digital innovation, RalphLauren.com presents the ultimate fusion of art, fashion & technology in a visual feast for the 5 senses. Watch as the London flagship at 1 New Bond Street disappears before your eyes and is then transformed into a series of objects and images rendered in 3-dimensional space.

Ralph Lauren celebrates 10 years of digital innovation with Ralph Lauren 4D Projection Mapping Show. A historic fusion of art, fashion & technology at the 888 Madison Ave store in NYC.

Here is what Ralph Lauren said to Business of Fashion Magazine on an exclusive interterview

“We discovered a new technology up in Amsterdam called digital mapping and we decided to take this to America and blow it out of the water, on a scale not seen before. The Guggenheim just did light projections on their building, but they’re not 3-D. This is like Avatar but without the glasses.

People can say: well, what does that have to do with Ralph Lauren? But just like fashion is cutting edge, it’s about knowing the next trends and getting ahead of those trends. We weren’t satisfied with a single spread in a magazine. That doesn’t mean anything to us. We want to be on the cutting-edge. The same way we saw QR code technology and brought it to America, we saw this new technology and thought: what could we do to take it to the next level?

We’d built this beautiful new store on Madison Avenue, it’s a pretty significant store, a Beaux-Arts mansion. And we wanted to bring it to life in very cool way. We’re calling it the collision of fashion, technology, art, commerce and architecture. That contrast of old world sensibility with modern technology is what we’re after.”
