Dutch Rose vs Lo Deck

Augmented Reality is a technology that links digital content to the image captured by the camera of a smartphone or tablet. What was previously only possible with video editing in a studio can now be done in real time with a smartphone or tablet. Use augmented reality to explain how to use complex devices, or for back stories on art or historical buildings. Or use AR to make paper come to life and connect to the online world.

Lo Deck turns your iPad or iPhone into a customizable control surface — a "macro pad" — for your computer. Design a grid of buttons in the free Lo Deck desktop app (macOS & Windows), then tap them on your tablet to run actions on your computer in real time. • Live data on every key — CPU, memory, free disk, a clock, the battery, weather and more. • Three triggers per key — tap, long-press and double-tap each fire a different action. • Media & app control — play/pause, volume, launch apps, fire keyboard shortcuts. • Smart home & car — webhooks and Tesla climate from a button. • Pages, folders & themes — organize hundreds of actions; recolor keys, add emoji or images. • Page backgrounds & translucent buttons — give a page its own background image (fill / contain / stretch) and let buttons show through translucently. • Live-value tiles — show any number from an HTTP/JSON API or a shell command. Connects locally on your own Wi-Fi network (no account), or from anywhere via your Lo Deck account. This is a companion app: it needs the free Lo Deck desktop app running on your computer.
