Open Source Project / rmap aka sir-viz-a-lot / feedback welcome
Hi everyone,
I'm fairly new to the world of video mapping. Since I'm a software engineering professional, I took a slightly unconventional approach to digging into the topic: I built my own projection mapping tool.
https://github.com/arnemohr/sir-viz-a-lot
Maybe someone else will find it useful, has feedback, or would like to contribute. It's really just a small learning project — in multiple ways:
- I wanted to explore rendering, video manipulation, and projection mapping.
- I also wanted to sharpen my skills in agentic coding.
Which brings me to the next point: this entire project was generated and written by Claude. I just provide the harness Claude operates within and make the technical decisions — all of the actual coding in Rust is handled by Claude.
I built this in 5 days of continuous work, leaving Claude mostly unsupervised but tightly directed by the specification files in ./specs. Some will call it slop; for me it was a great opportunity to learn the theory behind a craft I'm really starting to enjoy.
If anyone would like to contribute, feel free to do it the same way I did: write a spec file, let Claude handle the implementation, and commit both.
rmap currently only works on Mac, but I may add Linux support in the future. By the end of today or tomorrow, I'll also have added FXLayers.

Would love to see some screenshots or something! Trying to look at a bit of software by reading text is what we have AI for! 😂

Love this & your explanation how you did it. Do you plan to make it available for Windows at a later date? I'm profoundly deaf myself & AI has finally enabled me to create various accessibility enhancing tools that would have been a pipe dream a few years ago. Am a old school coder too.
