3D Projection Mapping with Puma

The Puma "Lift" ad, produced by Droga5, features 3D projection mapping.

With traditional video projection, the camera simply projects a 2D image. With 3D projection mapping, moving images match the surfaces, contours and shapes of what they are projected on to.

The following video, which I came across on Create Digital Motion, offers a good demonstration of video mapping on to shapes and architectural forms:

And here is an augmented sculpture installation from Pablo Valbuena that uses 3D mapping technology as well:

I would like to find more examples of movement and dance-based 3D projection mapping. If you know of examples, please let me know about them.
