When Donald C. of Canfield, Ohio, got his hands on the Illumibot Projection Mapping Kit, he didn’t hold back. His Christmas display featured AtmosFX Decorations bringing Santa and his industrious elves to life on the garage doors, while Illumibot’s AI covered the rest of his house in festive patterns – turning an ordinary suburban home into something the whole neighborhood stopped to watch.
As we look back at some of the previous season’s standout displays, Donald’s Christmas setup shows what can happen when you combine AtmosFX Decorations with Illumibot’s AI-powered projection mapping technology. The garage doors showcase the bustling North Pole action – namely Santa’s Bakery and Santa’s Workshop decoration collections – while the rest of the house gets wrapped in candy cane stripes, icicles, snowflakes, and other festive trim perfectly adapted to the architecture.
“Using Illumibot with my projectors has been a hit around the Canfield, Ohio, area,” Donald tells us.
We can see why. We love Donald’s display because it shows how all-encompassing a projection mapping display can be. And doing so with Illumibot? Well, the magic of Illumibot lies in its simplicity. The device connects to your projector via HDMI and works with an intuitive mobile app that makes projection mapping accessible to anyone.
Here’s how it works: Point your smartphone camera at the surface you want to project onto, snap a photo, and design the “canvas” onto which you’ll project your display. Then, tell the app in natural language (like “festive Christmas decorations with candy canes and snow”) what you’d like to see. The cloud-based AI will then generate stunning visuals that perfectly fit your chosen surface.
Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t also mention that we love how Illumibot integrates with AtmosFX Decorations. When you subscribe to Illumibot, your email address links to your library of purchased AtmosFX Decorations, allowing you to blend them with AI-generated content – exactly what Donald did with his garage doors.
When it comes to creating a festive holiday display that encompasses the entire house, it’s hard to imagine anything easier. And here’s a thought: given how easy Illumibot makes creating new displays, what’s keeping Donald from transforming his house again for Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, or Easter?
