Project status

topos is a UWB spatial tracking service for live performance, built by a technical stage manager at Douze Dix-Huit and used there in production. It is beta software running on real shows, under active development.

This site is being built. What is already here, and what is coming:

  • Docs — the complete guide, from buying the hardware to calibrating in the venue, imported straight from the topos repository so it never drifts from the code. English for now; French and Chinese translations to come.
  • Hardware — shopping list, printable cases (STL and OpenSCAD sources), anchor firmware.
  • Coming — tutorials (short videos: tracking in five minutes, laser-meter calibration), workshop photos, a devlog, GitHub Discussions, a public roadmap.

Everything else lives in the repository, including an --simulate mode that runs the whole chain without any hardware:

Terminal window
git clone https://github.com/yokoul/topos.git && cd topos
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
python -m topos.main --simulate circle # then open http://localhost:7070
