What to name it? #2

I should probably rename this repo because it's confusing to people thinking that a laser-level or much of anything todo with levelling is what this repo is about. The name originates because I used a laser level and a webcam as the hardware.

A laser source preferably as a projected very straight line makes for the ideal emitter for the image sensor. I’m currently working on such a custom hardware device.

Any ideas on the repo name are welcome.

a bit late but you may replace "level" by "flatness" in the name.

In addition, perhaps you can give a spot led a try : https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DCtjBal
