A developer has created an open-source project called Drifted that enables users to control a HoMedics Drift sand table using the Claude AI model. Users can issue commands like "Claude, draw today's weather" or "Turn this photo of the dog into a sand portrait," and Claude will plan the path for the steel ball to carve the design. The project includes a digital twin simulation to preview and correct drawings before they are sent to the physical table, which can take up to 20 minutes to complete. Drifted is free, MIT licensed, and runs on macOS, with the potential for porting to other operating systems. AI
