Projection mapping, similar to video mapping and spatial augmented reality, is a projection technique [1] [2] used to turn objects, often irregularly shaped, into display surfaces for video projection. The objects may be complex industrial landscapes, such as buildings, small indoor objects, or theatrical stages.
File:{Country name in English} (orthographic projection).svg; Or possibly File:{ISO 3-letter Country code} orthographic.svg; Further needs: Dimensions: 550x550 pixels. Border of the globe: 1.5 pixels. Latitude/longitude grid:.3 pixels in black with 77 in the transparency value. Coasts and borders of countries:.3 pixels. Legend: not needed.
Gott, Goldberg and Vanderbei’s double-sided disk map was designed to minimize all six types of map distortions. Not properly "a" map projection because it is on two surfaces instead of one, it consists of two hemispheric equidistant azimuthal projections back-to-back.

To create a simple map definition module using an image of a map with an equirectangular projection having the equator as its standard parallel (aka plate carrée, “unprojected”, lat/lon projection): Create a new map image and upload it to Wikimedia commons or find an existing map on the same site.
The Waterman "Butterfly" World Map is a map projection created by Steve Waterman. Waterman first published a map in this arrangement in 1996. The arrangement is an unfolding of a polyhedral globe with the shape of a truncated octahedron, evoking the butterfly map principle first developed by Bernard J.S. Cahill (1866–1944) in 1909
To learn how to add geographic coordinates to a page using templates, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates. To paste a location map with a dot (using the city of Madrid as an example), copy and paste the following code: {{Location map|Spain|label=Madrid|mark=Green_pog.svg |lat=40.5|long=-3.7|width=230|float=center}}
