Earlier quoted context omitted.

I read your comment, then I read the page. I disagree on every single line. This is not about software. Having the software on its own won't help you. If in 2006, the year before the iPhone came out, you had the software as FOSS, would that help? There was no hardware yet. There was nothing even with a capacitative touch screen with multitouch yet. The whole point of the design was to do away with styli, but all exta…

So if I want to do this I have to invent everything from scratch like he did?

If you think it is the code then you're missing the point. It is the idea.

If you want to implement it, then maybe you have to study this implementation, study with the implementors, and understand what it is and what it does and how it does it, and stop obsessing over some ASCII files that encode a little bit of the logic.

Life is sometimes a jigsaw puzzle. It is the picture that really matters. Having a map of the shape of all the pieces, with no images, would not really help you. It might after an epic amount of work help you reassemble a square of cardboard but that is not the picture.

If it helps... https://spatialpixel.com/procession/

We were very inspired by Dynamicland. We're aiming to build a kit that uses more natural language inputs, gesture, and higher level programming. We're building this up as an open environment/kit so people will be able to make their own programmable spaces.

Please reach out if you know of folks building similar spaces or efforts.
