This short tutorial shows how to use the projection-mapping features in WATCHOUT version 6. 

WATCHOUT enables pixel-accurate projection onto complex 3D objects, and supports the most commonly used 3D file formats. Other mapping workflow benefits include pre-visualisation, and, as of version 6.2, support of camera-based auto-alignment from DomeProjection systems.
