Similar project of mine that connects a phone to a PC browser using a WebRTC QR code so you can use a pen / touch on the phone to create drawings on the desktop:

Sadly it needs a (tiny) server component to exchange the initial connection information - using a QR code in both directions is smart, but also pretty annoying for the user.

I hear you. It is not the best user experience I agree, but it does take away the (tiny) server component. I will try to improve the experience.

And by the way, cool idea to use the pen on the smartphone.
