Panasonic projectors help create new dining experiences with ‘Le Petit Chef’
From Panasonic Business
Traditionally visual mappings are thought of as large video mappings onto buildings, at large events being viewed by large crowds.
However, Belgian based company Skullmapping, run by Antoon Verbeeck and Filip Sterckx, have demonstrated that small scale visual mappings for a smaller group of people can be equally impressive.
‘Le Petit Chef’ tells the story of a small animated chef who is projected onto diners’ plates and proceeds to ‘cook’ their food, on their plates in front of them.
| A new way of thinking about visual mappingsInitially the mapping was centred round a main meal. The video of this proved such a success on YouTube (where the video had 4.3 million views in the first 10 months) and other social media, that Skullmapping added an entrée, a fish dish and came up with the second story, the bouillabaisse. Now the mapping consists of a full meal including an entrée, main course and dessert.“We chose Panasonic because they had the specifications and resolution that we needed” “The concept of ‘Le Petit Chef’ originated from a request from a client who wanted a table mapping for an event,” Antoon Verbeek explains.“Naturally, table mappings had been done before, but these were mostly graphic mappings. We found it interesting to do something with a little figure on the table that cooks your food. “ The making of a mini-mappingFor the projection of their mini-mapping, the Skullmapping team chose to use Panasonic PT-VZ570 LCD-projectors. These projectors offer a blend of high image quality, low total cost of ownership, flexible installation and collaborative functionality.The projectors offer a contrast ratio of 10.000:1 with a brightness of 4,800 lumen. This meant that the team at Skullmapping could use a resolution of 1920 x 1200, which is vital in their productions. Read more from Panasonic Business |
