Spatial layout, minus the tape drift

Measured geometry, projected directly onto the work.

OpenLayout is starting with a deliberately narrow wedge: a gravity-aligned, dimensionally calibrated grid on a flat surface. The first demo is simple by design: project a 100 mm grid, place a real ruler on it, and prove the lines land where they should.

Prototype scope

One focused instrument before the platform.

01

Calibrate the plane

Fiducials, camera measurement, and homography correction turn a flat surface into a predictable coordinate system.

02

Project the reference

Grid, ruler, origin, and horizon-aligned modes give builders a physical reference without a printed template.

03

Earn the overlay

SVG, DXF, CAD overlays, and multi-device stitching come after the grid is boringly accurate.

Non-negotiable gate

Laser safety is part of the product, not a footnote.

OpenLayout is a research prototype and does not claim a certified laser class. The current architecture is designed around fail-dark behavior, bounded dwell time, scan-health checks, and an independent safety-controller path.
