+## Typical Usage
+
+For the Qt dashboard:
 
 ```bash
 pip install -e ".[gui]"
-
 python examples/finger_pipeline_3dview.py -v 0 -c ./config/dd02-ov.json
+```
 
-# Sales-demo shim
-python scripts/qt_viewer_finger.py -v 0 -c ./config/dd02-ov.json
+For the minimal finger pipeline:
+
+```bash
+python examples/finger_pipeline.py --camera_id 0 --config ./config/dd02-ov.json
+```
+
+For the basic compound-eye pipeline:
+
+```bash
+python examples/basic_pipeline.py -v 0 -c ./config/ddjx01.json
 ```

-- camera or test video
-- JSON config under `./config/`

 ## Notes
 
-- Dashboard: click **启动** to start acquisition; `Q` quit, `R` reset, `S`/`E` record, `Esc` fullscreen.
-
-## Windows standalone folder (CPU-only)
-
-Build a portable folder with bundled Python, packages, `config/`, and `assets/`:
-
-```bat
-conda activate py310
-pip install -e ".[gui]"
-pip install nuitka ordered-set zstandard
-
-build\build_gui_win.bat
-```
-
-Output:
-
-```
-dist/OrisysDashboard/
-  OrisysDashboard.exe
-  config/
-  assets/
-  README.txt
-  (+ bundled DLLs and runtime files)
-```
-
-Run:
-
-```bat
-cd dist\OrisysDashboard
-OrisysDashboard.exe --video path\to\video.mp4
-```
-
-After building, smoke-test bundled files and `--help`:
-
-```bat
-python build\verify.py --gui-dist
-```
-
-Manual QA on a machine without Python:
-
-1. Launch `OrisysDashboard.exe` — dashboard window opens
-2. Play a bundled or local video — 3D mesh and charts update
-3. Confirm default config resolves to `config\dd02-ov.json`
-4. Toggle settings (log, displacement arrows, thresholds)
-
-Notes:
-
-- One-folder layout is recommended (not a single-file exe) for Open3D + PyQt5 reliability
-- CPU-only: CUDA/CuPy are excluded from the build
-- Expect a large folder (Open3D, OpenCV, SciPy, Qt)
-- Frozen path resolution lives in `examples/app_paths.py`
+- `finger_pipeline_3dview.py` is the main interactive demo. It uses `app_paths.py` so the same entry point works in editable and packaged runs.
+- Dashboard controls: click **启动** to start acquisition; `Q` quits, `R` resets, `S` starts recording, `E` stops recording, and `Esc` toggles fullscreen.
+- `finger_pipeline.py` is the leanest finger example if you want to validate UV unroll + force/contact processing without the full dashboard.
