Visit vvvv

vvvv is a visual live-programming environment for .NET aimed at building large-scale interactive installations, media servers, and realtime media applications. It addresses the need to connect external systems, sensors, and protocols to realtime output while scaling an application across multiple PCs for distributed rendering and synchronized outputs.

Its visual language VL supports object-oriented, functional, and reactive patterns, with live changes applied without restarting; parts of an application can also be written in C#, F#, or shaders via SDSL. Capabilities include Stride and Skia rendering, projection mapping integrations (VIOSO, Scalable Display Systems), crowd tracking (Augmenta, BlueIOT), motion capture (OptiTrack, Captury), multi-touch via TUIO, multichannel audio with VST3, lighting and laser control, and a built-in package manager for optional packs. Apps can be exported as Windows applications for deployment.

vvvv is intended for developers and technical teams building realtime interactive and media applications. The download requires no signup or registration and can be installed on multiple devices without copy protection; no pricing or edition details are stated.
