What LumaPlane is
LumaPlane is a browser-based projection mapping tool for shaping projected images and videos to fit real surfaces. Users create planes, attach media, adjust the shapes while projecting, and send the result to a projector in fullscreen. Masks can block selected areas, and multiple planes can be layered. The tool runs in a browser without installation or specialist hardware. To use a projector, move the browser window to a display representing it and select fullscreen output. The free Starter plan includes one project, unlimited planes, built-in gallery media, and fullscreen projector output; it is free forever and requires no card. Users who want to upload their own images or videos can choose Basic or Pro. Basic costs $19 a year and allows 10 projects, unlimited planes, uploads up to 50MB, and gallery media. Pro costs $49 a year and includes unlimited projects and planes, uploads, and 500MB of media storage. LumaPlane is aimed at beginners, hobbyists, small venues, educators, and artists developing ideas for installations, displays, workshops, classrooms, makerspaces, or educational projects.
