Laser Graffiti

Point a projector and a webcam at a wall, draw with a laser pointer, and the projector paints your strokes. Open source, runs in the browser.

In plain words

Laser Graffiti is an open-source browser-based application that lets users draw on walls using a laser pointer and projector. A webcam detects the laser movements, and the projector displays the strokes with visual effects like glowing neon or dripping ink. It works without a projector too, using a mouse or finger instead. The tool is designed for creative projection mapping and interactive art installations.

From the sources

Point a projector and a webcam at any wall. Draw with a laser pointer. The projector paints your strokes — glowing neon, dripping ink, spinning in 3D. Inspired by this video — laser tagging buildings with a projector, done years ago and still magical. Read the backstory ↓ No projector needed for this one — your mouse (or finger) is the laser. Pick a brush, flip on a mode, or play tic-tac-toe against the computer by drawing an X in a cell. Connect a projector as a second screen and point a webcam at the projected area. Open the control window and the projector window (press F for fullscreen). One click flashes markers into the corners of the projection; the camera finds them and computes the…from laser.consti.de

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
