What is 3D Mapping? Overview of Modern 3D Projection Technology
3D Mapping is a unique projection technology that brings vivid and impressive images. Widely applied in many fields, this technology is opening up new opportunities in art, advertising and education. Let's learn about this technology and the important factors to implement a quality 3D Mapping project.
What is 3D Mapping?
3D Mapping is a technique that uses projectors to display 3D images on physical surfaces such as buildings, objects, stages or terrain. Unlike traditional projection on flat screens, 3D Mapping creates a lifelike effect, helping viewers feel the depth and movement in three-dimensional space.
Currently, 3D Mapping is becoming a global trend in the fields of event organization, brand promotion, performing arts and entertainment industry.

3D Mapping Technology Classification
- Architectural 3D Mapping: This is the most popular form, used to project images onto the surface of architectural works such as buildings, historical relics, temples. The purpose is to create visual highlights for events, festivals or cultural promotion.
- Stage 3D Mapping: Applied in performing arts, music, and theater programs to enhance the visual experience for the audience. This technology makes the stage more vivid and attractive.
- Museum and exhibition 3D Mapping: Helps present information, artifacts, and relics in 3D visual form, making it easier for viewers to access and perceive the content. Especially useful in heritage conservation and interactive education.
- Terrain 3D Mapping: Applied in military, geological survey, and urban planning. By recreating accurate 3D terrain models, this technology supports decision-making and spatial data analysis.
Outstanding applications of 3D Mapping in Vietnam
In Vietnam, 3D Mapping is being increasingly applied in areas such as:
- Performing at major events, cultural festivals or art programs.
- Projecting brand advertisements on building facades in major cities.
- Recreating historical relics at national museums, enhancing the experience for visitors.
- Simulating architectural designs, supporting the presentation of ideas to customers or investors.
- Filmmaking, television, cinematographic effects, digital content production.

How much does it cost to rent 3D Mapping services?
The cost to implement a 3D Mapping project depends on many factors, including:
- Area and shape of the surface to be projected.
- Area and shape of the surface to be projected.
- The number and quality of projectors used.
- Show duration and accompanying technical requirements.
The common price in the Vietnamese market currently ranges from 30 million to over 300 million VND for a project depending on the scale. For large projects with high technical requirements, the cost may be higher.

How to have a high-quality 3D Mapping product?
To ensure the quality of a 3D Mapping project, the following factors need to be noted:
- Carefully survey the projection surface: It is necessary to measure in detail the size and shape of the projection surface. This data is the foundation for building an accurate and realistic 3D model.
- Design creative and synchronous content: A successful 3D Mapping content is not only beautiful but also requires a harmonious combination of images, sound, light and movement. The script must be built with depth and convey a clear message.
- Using modern software and equipment: To create high-quality products, it is necessary to use specialized 3D graphics software such as Cinema 4D, Blender or After Effects. The projector should have high resolution, high brightness and flexible alignment capabilities.
- Experienced technical team: 3D Mapping technology requires precise coordination between technical stages. A professional construction team will ensure that the final effect is achieved as expected, without distortion or frame delay.

3D Mapping is not only a new technology, but also a creative tool that helps create powerful and memorable visual experiences. With wide application potential, 3D Mapping is becoming a prominent trend in Vietnam.
