However, I have no idea how flash going to link with projection mapping software. Referring to the software recommended by my lecturer, which are MadMapper and Syphone, I discovered that both software only available in MAC version:
Although I able to find the window version of Syphone, which name Wyphon, but it still not stable and not easy to learn:

One of my group mates actually suggested me to refer to multi-player online game created by google, Chrome Super Sync Sports:

It's definitely not easy to be a good technical leader...
