The book provides readers with an overview of the professional field, including current industry standards and workflows for digital media and projection design, its related aesthetics, techniques, and technologies. A practical taxonomy of digital media and how we create meaning through its use on the theatrical stage along with the essential tools and techniques for creating and executing digital content are covered. Readers are introduced to the fundamentals of creating and executing digital content, including photography and still images, generative AI, video, animation, real-time effects, generative art, data, and interactive digital media. The book also details the types and use of industry-standard equipment, including media servers, projectors, projection surfaces, emissive displays, cameras, sensors, and more. It guides readers through technical tasks such as programming media servers, converging and blending projectors, projection mapping, calculating surface brightness and luminance, screen size, and throw distance, and more, making this a complete guide to digital media and projection design today. The second edition is updated with new content throughout and two new chapters addressing the latest technologies and trends in virtual performance, motion capture, generative AI, and VR AR. Ten new case studies from diverse practitioners have been added and the book is restructured with shorter chapters for easier navigation and reference.
