How to Decorate for the Holidays Using Technology

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Forget those giant skeletons and inflatable ghosts! Jack-O-Lanterns may be a cheaper decoration, but this Halloween why not ditch the traditional decorations and take a more tech-savvy approach?

Digital decorations are the new trend and offer a cost-effective and time-saving way to transform your home into a haunted house or whimsical wonderland.

You may have seen digital animations on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. Most of these are just aimed at a wall to move lights. However, there is a much better way to do this.

Imagine spooky characters trying to escape from your windows, animated characters dancing on your garage door, or spooky scenes so realistic they might just scare the neighbors. These are just a few examples of the fascinating effects you can achieve with digital decorations.

How does it work?

It’s surprisingly simple. You’ll need a digital projector, available online for as little as $30, a shower curtain, and a digital video file.

You can find a variety of scary and funny animations online, often with accompanying sound effects.

At Atmos FX, we’ve found a wide selection of spooky, spooky, and funny digital animation files for between $15 and $50. You can also find free animations on YouTube. However, unless you have a YouTube Premium subscription, the videos will be interrupted by advertisements.

Once you have your equipment, simply hang the shower curtain in the desired location, a window, a door or even freestanding in the garden or on the roof. Project the video onto it and voila! Your home will be transformed instantly.
