Mobile Projection Mapping for Roadshows and Multi-City Tours

A great show in one city reaches one city. Put it on the road and the same experience meets a new crowd every stop, while the creative, the content and the crew stay the same.

We design projection experiences that travel, for brand tours, roadshows, festival circuits and trade-show calendars. If your campaign has more than one date on it, tell us the route.

Mobile projection mapping packs a mapped show into a kit that can be loaded, driven, set up and struck again, then rebuilt at the next venue without starting over. When you plan multiple stops, whether a tour, a roadshow, a brand campaign or a festival run, and want a repeatable kit-of-parts setup, an inflatable dome is the structure to choose.

The defining challenge is repeatability. Every venue has a different dock, a different floor and a different power board, but the guest at stop ten should see the same show as the guest at stop one. That comes from planning the kit once, scanning and mapping the structure once, and making setup a routine the crew can run anywhere.

• Structures that travel. Our geodesic and inflatable domes have fully portable components and are built to deploy anywhere, at any scale. Small inflatables pack into cases, travel easily and go from truck to showtime quickly with a trained crew.
• Systems packed for the truck. Our trade-show systems are engineered to land on time, run all week and pack out clean. Machines come pre-configured and packed for the truck, and a mapped-object display can ship in a wheeled enclosure that opens for the show and closes for the truck.
• Mapping that is ready before arrival. Once captured, a scanned model becomes a reusable asset for seasonal shows or touring versions, so masks, warps and lens choices are ready before the truck doors open.
• On-site alignment. Portable structures can shift slightly during installation, so surface mapping is finished on site with laser alignment to make every pixel land where it should.
• Route logistics. We map dock access, truck routes, storage, rigging schedules, power tie-ins, cable paths, crew calls, union rules, curfews and emergency egress. Our event and project design team leads that work.
• A touring rig and a multi-show roadmap. Our Custom Build tier for trade shows includes both, so the plan covers every date, not just the first.

Inflatable domes. Inflatables are optimized for speed, flexibility and touring economics, and they suit indoor tours, festivals, trade shows and short-run campaigns.

Hard-shell and geodesic domes. Hard shells are optimized for performance, permanence and a premium theater-grade experience. Our domes range from 10-foot portable setups to 200-foot large-scale venues. See dome projection for the full range.

Trade-show systems. A full dome system can capture attention from across the hall, hold audiences through 8-12 minute experiences and pack out into a single trailer. More on trade show technologies.

After the tour. Many of our touring trade-show systems have a second life in showrooms, museums, brand HQs or experience centers, so the investment keeps working.

For single-stop formats, see temporary and event projection and pop-up events. Outdoor stops are covered by outdoor projection mapping, multi-city ticketed shows by immersive art exhibitions, campaigns by projection advertising, and hardware-only hires by projection equipment rental.

• Jeep Dome at the Winter X-Games. For two consecutive years, the Jeep Dome brought a 4D off-road experience to the X-Games. We built a 30-foot geodesic dome with 18 motion-activated heated leather seats and ten 5K lumen HD laser projectors blended into a 4K UHD 360° screen. Over two years, nearly 5000 X-Games attendees went through it.
• Capital One Venture Dome, Denver. The 44ft geodesic dome was exhibited at four locations in Denver, and we projection mapped it over the course of six months.
• The X Pot, Las Vegas and Chicago. We designed, built, installed and produced content for the immersive restaurant in both cities.

Send us the route, the dates, the kind of venues on it and how many guests you expect at each stop. We will come back with a kit design, a setup plan and a logistics roadmap for the run. To see everything we do, visit our projection mapping services page, or talk to our team.
