# Content Mapping

## Introduction

With the release of LightAct 4.8, content mapping has been greatly simplified. Now you can map LightAct layers:

* directly to viewport objects such as video screens
* to canvases for functionalities similar to Disguise's Feed Maps
* to throwers for functionalities similar to Disguise's Mappings such as Perspective or Spherical

### Fast workflow

{% hint style="info" %}
**Good to know:** Most content mappings can be achieved by simply dragging an arrow from the viewport object or a canvas to a layer.
{% endhint %}

## Direct Mapping

What you referred to as Direct mapping in Disguise, can be done in LightAct through mapping. You can map content directly from a Layer to any Viewport object, such as a Video screen, to any Canvas or Device.

## Perspective Mapping

Perspective mapping in LightAct is performed by mapping content from a [Perspective Thrower](broken://pages/ZaCdR6cxWAptcq2iudJJ) to another Viewport Object, such as a Video Screen.

## Sphere Mapping

Sphere mapping in LightAct can be done with the help of a [Spherical Thrower](broken://pages/jFvjShbG8expyDBbTY4S). Similar to the Perspective thrower, a Spherical thrower can map Content to other objects placed on the Viewport.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Good to know:** In LightAct, it is also possible to achieve cubic mapping. This type of mapping can be achieved with the help of a [Cubic Thrower](broken://pages/HvMoHhVRSy65RVsqvKrk).

## Parallel mapping

An equivalent to parallel mapping in Disguise would be Orthogonal thrower in LightAct.
