The show's word
Dineamation joins dining and animation. The show describes it as a shared dining concept in which visuals, storytelling and theatre sit alongside the food.
What projection mapping is
It is a projection technique that turns objects, often irregularly shaped ones, into display surfaces for video. It is also known as video mapping and spatial augmented reality.
How the picture fits the object
Specialised software maps the object virtually, so the projected image fits its surfaces. Artists can then add optical illusions and a sense of movement.
An old idea
One of the earliest known examples is Laterna Magika, shown by Josef Svoboda at the 1958 Brussels World Fair, where performers appeared against projected film.
On the table
In this show the moving image comes to the table where you sit, so the plate and the picture belong to the same scene.
What to expect
Expect to be part of the action rather than a spectator, with animation, a story and seven courses over about two hours.
