Book excerpt: The goal of this project in lieu of thesis is the research and development of a digital projection mapping tool that is specifically designed for live theatrical performances and that is accessible, easily controllable, and cue-able. Working inside of the existing projection software, Isadora, the author constructed the Polygon Mapper, which gives the user complete control over mapping non-rectilinear objects while utilizing Isadora-specific functionality to manipulate and cue performances. This is unique to the theatrical field in that other mapping software lacks complete control, cue-ability, or accessibility. All three of these components must be present to achieve optimal functionality that can be exploited in any theatre, for any show, on any budget. This paper will review the history of projections in theatre, outline the research and development process for creating and manipulating the software, and provide a detailed manual for mapping using the software designed inside of Isadora. This Masters Thesis proposal has been accepted for presentation at the 2012 Southeastern Theatre Conference in March in Chattanooga, Tennessee under the presentation title name: "Projection Design: Video Mapping onto Non-Traditional Surfaces."
