Hektor is a portable spray paint output device for computers. It was
created in collaboration with engineer Uli Franke for Jürg Lehniʼs
diploma project at ECAL (École cantonale dʼart de Lausanne) in 2002.
Hektor’s light and fragile mechanism consists only of two motors,
toothed belts and a spray can holder. By the means of geometric
triangulation and gravity, a custom software moves the spray can along
predefined drawing paths and remotely activates the can’s nozzle.
