Field notes
The scan uses projected stripe patterns and a webcam to build a projector-view reconstruction; without a camera, users can still draw and trace surfaces on a blank canvas. The listed creative inputs include 52 built-in effects, user-loaded ISF shaders, looping video, GIFs, text, and NDI or Spout live feeds. The page lists Windows 10 or 11 as required and says macOS and Linux versions are coming later.
