WarpDeck
Simple projection for hard surfaces.
WarpDeck is a free, browser-based projection mapping presenter. It shows slides on physical surfaces — banners, walls, pillars, stage sets — by letting you pin each corner of the picture to the real world. No installation, no account, and it works offline.
Why “WarpDeck”
Warp is what happens to the picture: every output is corner-pinned — perspective-warped — so a rectangular slide lands exactly on a surface that is anything but a rectangular screen. Deck is what you present: a deck of slides. Put together: a deck of slides, warped onto the physical world.
Why it exists
Projection mapping usually means an installed desktop application: OS-specific, often licensed, hardware-hungry, and built for full-scale shows. That is a lot of machinery when all you need is sponsor slides on a banner or a schedule on a brick wall. A simple web-based option didn’t exist — so we built one.
WarpDeck runs entirely in the browser. Open a URL, add a display window, drag four corners onto the surface, and present. After the first load it needs zero network, and your data stays in the browser unless you choose to pair a remote controller.
What it does
- Corner-pin calibration — drag the four corners of each surface until the picture sits exactly on the physical object; nudge by keyboard for the last millimeter.
- Any number of displays — one controller window drives every connected projector or screen.
- Multiple surfaces per display — one projector can cover several objects, each with its own warped output.
- Feeds — route different presentations to different surfaces and run them at the same time; the same feed on many surfaces stays perfectly in sync.
- Slide templates and free elements — ready-made sponsor layouts plus free-floating text and images on a fixed 1600×900 stage.
- Import images and PDFs — drop in pictures, or bring an existing deck exported to PDF and every page becomes a slide.
- Dynamic slides from data — paste a spreadsheet table and a whole slide set is generated from it, sponsor tiers included; edit the data, and the slides follow.
- Autoplay — per-presentation dwell time, loop, and shuffle.
- Remote control — pair a phone or laptop with a QR code and drive the venue from anywhere. Remote access runs through a relay server and needs an authorization code — contact the author to get one.
- Offline-first — installable as an app; everything is cached after the first visit.
- Portable shows — save and open complete presentations as .warpdeck files.
- Free — no license, no account, no watermark.
