What Is an Interactive Projection Restaurant?
An interactive projection restaurant combines advanced projection mapping, LiDAR sensing, and real-time interaction to create a fully immersive dining experience.
Guests are no longer just eating — they are part of a digital performance, surrounded by moving visuals, reactive lighting, and sound that respond to their gestures and actions.
These restaurants are often called “holographic restaurants,” “5D immersive dining,” or “3D projection restaurants.”
Whether it’s a holographic hotpot, light-and-shadow KTV restaurant, or wedding banquet hall, the technology behind them is the same — dynamic projection and smart sensing.
How Does an Interactive Projection Restaurant Work?
The system uses multiple projectors to create panoramic visual effects across walls, tables, and floors.
Each projector is aligned through edge blending and correction software, forming one seamless scene.
When combined with CPJROBOT’s POE LiDAR interactive sensing system, the projection reacts instantly to touch, movement, or proximity.
Working Process Overview
- Detection: LiDAR sensors capture guests’ gestures or motion in real time.
- Processing: The main controller analyzes the data and determines the interaction point.
- Display Response: The system synchronizes visuals and sound to react dynamically — waves ripple, lights bloom, or virtual petals scatter at your touch.
The result: a dining space that feels alive and responsive, creating a sense of wonder and engagement impossible with traditional décor.
