<p>Here's the thing:</p>

<p>We wish to display the same browser window (with 3 html5 canvas), on a wall, however, it needs to be masket only on certain points of that wall.</p>

<p>So, in between the wall, there will be some objects that we wish NOT to have the projector to project, like so:</p>

<p>------------------------------ WALL --------------------------</p>

<p>|<strong>(canvas1)</strong>| real flower |<strong>(canvas2)</strong>| real flower |<strong>(canvas3)</strong>|</p>

<p>We can connect a PC, with a graphic card with 3 outputs, OR we can have 3 graphic cards, with 3 projectors, and perhaps that will work but, does anyone know a way for doing this otherwise? For example, using one single projector?</p>

<p>Thank you in advance</p>

Are these showing 3 different/separate HTML5 canvases, or 1 canvas shown 3 times?

Here's the thing:

We wish to display the same browser window (with 3 html5 canvas), on a wall, however, it needs to be masket only on certain points of that wall.

So, in between the wall, there will be some objects that we wish NOT to have the projector to project, like so:

------------------------------ WALL --------------------------

|**(canvas1)**| real flower |**(canvas2)**| real flower |**(canvas3)**|

We can connect a PC, with a graphic card with 3 outputs, OR we can have 3 graphic cards, with 3 projectors, and perhaps that will work but, does anyone know a way for doing this otherwise? For example, using one single projector?

Thank you in advance
