BeamMapper
Projection mapping for Windows that starts with a scan of your real scene.
The problem
Professional projection-mapping suites cost hundreds of dollars and assume you already know them. Toy apps stop at a few shapes. Nothing in between did the hard part: lining the projection up with the real objects in the room.
What I built
- A Windows desktop app that projects structured-light stripe patterns, watches them with any USB webcam and rebuilds the scene from the projector's point of view
- Smart masking with Magic Wand, Smart Select, depth slicing, pen and brush, so a click on a door panel turns it into a surface
- A GPU renderer for ISF shaders, video, images, text and live inputs, with audio-reactive effects, scenes, fades and multi-projector edge blending
- Show mode with a master fader and blackout, driven live by MIDI, OSC or a phone, with Spout and NDI in and out
- A license server for the $99 Pro edition: Stripe checkout, emailed keys, signed device activations and a passwordless account page
