According to KeyBright, In November 2012, I created a simple installation called Magic Keyboard. At the time, the project was only running on my laptop and wasn’t ready to be opened on any device. All these prototypes were quickly made on my personal time with the toolkit vvvv and the Box2D plugin by@mrvux. I also had some great support from Moment Factory for the hardware and the LAB space.
The series of 4 experiments always involved some projected elements with physical behaviors, colliding with elements of the real world.

In November 2015 thanks to Moment Factory’s post, the prototype gained a lot of interest for a week. A lot of people seemed to be willing to try it at home, and I was surprised by the amount of fun and on point reactions. Some redditers actually gave some great ideas for pushing the concept.
It had been a long time since I wanted to make an opensource project that would allow people to create something together at home. So I took some time and gathered the elements to make this happen in the webbrowser. The installation had to be as simple as possible with just a quick drag and drop calibration.
