What HoloMapper is

HoloMapper is real-time projection mapping software for creating visuals on physical surfaces, with input from files and live video sources. It runs on Windows and Linux and supports workflows involving Linux, SteamOS, and Steam Deck. Creators can place images, videos, GIFs, text, animations, custom shapes, Bezier curves, and NDI or Spout sources. Mesh warping offers controls for adjusting edges and internal points to fit angled, curved, uneven, or irregular surfaces. Editing tools include quads, circles, lines, freehand drawing, filled shapes, curves, and text layers. Snapping helps align sides, corners, and rotation, while Auto Aspect can match a quad to imported media. The editor can stay on one screen while clean mapped output goes to a projector or external display. NDI and Spout support input and output for compatible live workflows. URL/browser layers and external window inputs are experimental, and their compatibility and performance may vary. HoloMapper is in Early Access, and its maker says features may change during development. It is a one-time purchase, listed at $20.99, paid once.
