Would be neat keeping it opensource.

Tap screen to grab?

Tap screen to teleoperate. Eventually gripper will be controlled by swiping. Still not better than a second arm for teleoperation — will burn a few more days on trying to tune the mapping of phone motion to IK.

Very cool!

Now this is intuitive

needs phone camera capturing the whole time? but still interesting
