Unfortunately, I've forgotten to turn it off in a couple of occasions and I end up draining the batteries. Since it would be absurd to keep a finger against the button during the whole workshop, the shirt-button and wire substitutes my finger in said task. If there's no pressure, then it stops emitting the red light.

I added the shirt-button, using wire, because the laser pointer is only activated while its button is pressed. The red laser point is actually an indication for me as a teacher, that helps me identify the center of the frame, so I don't accidentally move the paper away from it as I fold and teach. In that case, the participants aren't able to see the whole paper. Because of that, it often happens that we move the paper as we fold and out of the center of the webcam's frame. And have you ever thought about teaching online, for example at one of the Origami-dan's, the Discord server, VC parties?Ībout your question, often when people like me teach through a videoconferencing app, we tend to look more at the paper than at the computer screen.

Hopefully what I have learned from so much trial and error will help you.

If you have an Android phone and want to use it as a computer webcam, but DO NOT know how, I recommend the Droidcam app:

#INSTAGRAM ADJUST ORIGAMI STUDIO 1080P#

Yohoolyo 1080p webcam (very little fisheye image and autofocus).

#INSTAGRAM ADJUST ORIGAMI STUDIO MANUAL#

Loetad 1080p webcam (zero fisheye image and manual focus). I recommend the following which are MUCH cheaper than document cameras. Have you seen that visual effect? Several webcams produce this type of image, including those that say 'wide angle.' This kind of webcams also make the edges of the paper curved, which makes the origami learning process very difficult. I mean those that make straight edges (like the corners between walls) curvilinear. If you are interested in buying a webcam to point to the desk and teach origami, (1) look for one with manual or automatic focus, avoid fixed focus, and (2) make sure it does NOT produce a 'fisheye' image. I place the laptop next to the window, so people can see me better instead of placing it on the other side of the desk and far from the window. This light generates shadows and highlights on the paper, making the creases and folds easier to see.

I receive sunlight from one side of the room which I diffuse by using a window shade.

A cardboard box lifts the laptop and its webcam to a more natural angle, just a tad higher than my face.

OBS Studio allows me to adjust the settings of my webcam, such as exposure, brightness, and contrast, among others, and also allows me to add the laptop’s webcam (picture-in-picture).That way I can see people's reactions on the laptop's screen, through gallery-view, and be receptive to them as I teach each step. A second screen allows me to see other things while I keep the video call on the laptop’s, for example, diagrams or OBS Studio.I set it that high, so it doesn’t reflect on my glasses. The ring light levels the lighting on my face and the paper. The small headset allows me to place the microphone closer to my mouth, offering a clearer sound.By placing the webcam correctly, the board’s edges also gives me an indication that helps me place the sheet straight within the frame. Since the desk has a leather top and I can’t properly fold on it, I place a Formica board on top.I made a pocket to attach the webcam to the desk lamp by using a piece of carton board and duct tape.

A smartphone has a better camera than most webcams, but since I don’t own one I purchased the Yohoolyo 1080P webcam (good image plus autofocus).I use a shirt button and wire to keep the laser pointer turned on for as long as I want. That way I can keep my paper in the center of the frame as I fold. I attached a laser pointer to the webcam, by using duct tape, to pinpoint the center of the webcam’s frame.I don’t use it as a light source when teaching origami. By using a desk lamp as an arm for the webcam I’m able to move it closer or farther from the paper.Teaching Origami Using Video Meeting Systems by LondonOrigami. By the way, there are a lot more useful tips in. It can be very valuable information for people interested in the virtual development of workshops and origami group meetings through Zoom, Google Meet, Jitsi, etc. I share below some notes and photos that explain every detail of my setup and how each one has been useful to me. Due to that, in recent months I have been improving my setup so to facilitate the online teaching process. The origami workshops through platforms such as Zoom became a very popular and necessary practice to keep the origami community active and united during the pandemic.
