Can I projection map a live website with madmapper and also be able to interact with it using a mouse? I want to make this thing:

here is a video and picture of what i want to do

Thanks

Option 1: use a computer for the website and a computer for MadMapper. Use the HDMI output of computer output and get it in the MM computer with a HDMI capture dongle (BlackMagic MiniRecorder is fine: https://www.ldlc.com/fr-be/fiche/PB00166107.html)

Option 2: on macOS use Dekstop 2 Syphon

Option 3: do the same as option 1 but on the same computer: Screen 1 for the browser, HDMI out -> HDMI capture -> MadMapper -> Video Projector.

Option 4: use an iPad for the web browser and use WebNDI http://www.sienna-tv.com/ndi/webndi.html
So MadMapper could use the NDI stream (on macOS or Windows)

I couldn't find a Desktop to NDI solution ? I'd be surprised there is not.

Thanks Matt I'll look into those. Out of curiosity, can i use a mouse to interact with the projected website using those approaches you mentioned? I plan to use a bluetooth infrared pen like mouse so that the user can tap on the projection mapped website as if s/he was on a touchscreen.

Sure, with options 1-3. With an iPad I have no idea.
