About Lazy Lighting
Short version
Lazy Lighting is a projection mapping app for iPhone, iPad and Android. Point any projector at a wall, a window or an object, drag the corners into place on your phone, and fill each shape with animated visuals, including built-in Halloween and Christmas scenes.
Long version
Lazy Lighting is a projection mapping app for iPhone, iPad and Android that makes a technique once reserved for studios and agencies easy enough for anyone with a projector. You add shapes on your phone, drag their corners onto real surfaces while you watch the projection, and give each shape its own visual: one of more than 100 built-in visuals, a Halloween or Christmas scene, or your own videos and photos.
It works with any projector that has an HDMI input, with AirPlay on iPhone and iPad, and wirelessly with Android TV and Google TV projectors through the Lazy Lighting Link app. People use it for house fronts and windows at Halloween and Christmas, party and concert visuals synced to music, art pieces and classrooms. Users have created more than 3.5 million mappings.
Jake Silverstein, founder and developer
Jake Silverstein is an iOS developer and the solo founder of Lazy Lighting, which he builds from Tokyo. He started it to light up concerts for his Grateful Dead cover band with 1960s and '70s psychedelic visuals, then realized the app could mask light onto separate surfaces.
In October 2025 he posted a video of himself projection mapping a cardboard box; it drew about half a million views and downloads took off. He rebuilt the app around projection mapping that November, and his December videos of boxes wrapped in moving Christmas wrapping paper were viewed more than 100 million times.
