i was just in japan and in some university in gifu people we're
experimenting with reflictive material
now you did not talk about how projecting on dancers but i still want to tel
this...
as high reflective material can reflect light even it is not visible.
in this case people were projected on with video but there was no video on
their face nor hands, the shirt made of reflective material reflected the
video on the body. this is a really good way to project on people.
