Panasonic illuminates the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku, Japan using the world’s largest permanent projection mapping display and a series of joyous, live animations. The mapping display and its light installation-like visuals are remotely played and managed using cloud-controlled spatial production by Panasonic AcroSign and Remotely Managed Service.
Panasonic also shares that this is the largest architectural permanent projection mapping display in the world, securing the Guinness World Record. The live animations began projecting on February 25th, 2024 and since then, a continuous number of moving images is played at night, lighting up the dark skyline of Tokyo with spatial production.
To light up the world’s largest permanent projection mapping display on the exterior of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, Panasonic employs three of its products: AcroSign digital signage, high-brightness projectors, and an immersive sound system. Viewers can both watch the live animations and listen to the music accompanying the sequences. A feature that may make the projection mapping display striking is the system it uses, which enables the people handling the live animations to monitor and maintain it remotely using Panasonic’s surveillance cameras and cloud-based remote management and content updates.
Along with Panasonic’s cloud-based remote management, there are forty high-brightness projectors that deliver clear, bright, and immersive visuals over a vast area of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building to make the world’s largest permanent projection mapping display work.
These animations are coupled with synchronized audio from a RAMSA sound system, and rain or shine, the shows flashed on the projection mapping display go on since Panasonic also developed dust-, water- and vibration-resistant projector bodies to guarantee long-term operation in outdoor environments. As of publishing the story, Panasonic’s world-largest permanent projection mapping display is a new tourist attraction in Tokyo for those visiting the city’s Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku.
