Amateras Room Player

360-degree media player for room projection mapping

About

Amateras Room Player is a media player software dedicated to fill walls of a regular room with 360-degree content using multiple projectors or displays. As with the Amateras Dome Player for dome theaters, it offers the ease of use and functionality that only dedicated software can provide. It flexibly supports the placement of multiple projectors that are not directly opposite to the wall, enabling accurate 360-degree image projection from any viewpoint position in a short setup time. In addition, flat content and live video can be displayed as Picture in Picture style, just like putting up a poster on a wall.
