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: “We’re @cwervo & @osnr -- we work on the Folk physical computing system. Some of the things we're looking into: how to mount ≤5 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 away”
We've had a funding shortfall recently – 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 :-)
