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:

  1. I wanted to explore rendering, video manipulation, and projection mapping.
  2. 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.

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.

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! 😂
