Lightform was a company that made design tools for 📝projection mapping: devices that scanned a scene with structured light, and Lightform Creator, content creation software for Mac and PC. Its company page says it combined computer vision, augmented reality and hardware design to create design tools for projected AR. Its products included the LF1, a compact wireless computer and camera system; the LFC Kit, an add-on for use with a separate projector in larger deployments; and the LF2+, a 1000-lumen LED projector it called the first sound-reactive AR projector.
Lightform's workflow had three steps: scan a scene with structured light, create content in Creator with effects driven by the scan data, and upload it to the device to run untethered from a laptop. Its Close of Business & End of Support page, updated October 13, 2022, states that Lightform discontinued all hardware production runs effective February 7, 2022, and that customer support ended on August 12, 2022 "as the company has shut down." That page names Creator 2.4.1 as the final software version and says Lightform will no longer develop new releases. As of November 10, 2026, the lightform.com homepage states that "Lightform is permanently closed and is no longer in business," tells customers to update to the last software and firmware versions, and points them to its Guide & FAQ for self-help. The site also carries a safety firmware recall notice for some LF2 and LF2+ units.
