Following a great discussion with @laidlaw.bsky.social on ScrollSpace alanlaidlaw.com/tablescroll-... , prototyping like there is no tomorrow!

Namely assembling a mount for my OAK-D Lite shop.luxonis.com/products/oak... with no 3D printing, not waiting for parts.

It MUST be cheap and NOW.

Folk Computer GitHub sponsorship page:

โ€œWeโ€™re @cwervo & @osnr -- we work on the Folk physical computing system.

Some of the things we're looking into:

how to mount โ‰ค5 lb. projectors arbitrarily (e.g. above your desk, in your kitchen, or above your bed)
using computer vision to do millimeter-accurate 3D projector calibration & mapping (going beyond pieces of paper on table plane)
projected preview of what lines a CNC machine will cut on the material on its bed
WIP: high-performance, preemptive, parallel Folk evaluator -- much lower latency and higher scalability
bootable live USB so you just plug it into any computer and boot into physical computing OS right awayโ€

We've had a funding shortfall recently โ€“ we'd really appreciate it if you sponsor Folk on GitHub Sponsors if you can, so that we can keep doing this free and open work :-)
