The live visual show on Saturday was a nice event, I was relatively happy since VisionFactory worked pretty well in its networked configuration. Though, controlling several parameters with only a mouse and a keyboard at the same time was quite painful and not really that intuitive. I really missed a midi input controller here. Hopefully, I had plugged some music responsive scenes and a webcam focusing of my friend Sevenfive performing live, so that the whole thing was enough reactive to the sound and to the context.
Here are three videos shot during the show :

• Webcam 3D Pixels+Grid effect (.mov, ~6Mo)
• ‘Somebody is watching me’ remix (.mov, ~6Mo)
• Barbican Tree + RGB effect (.mov, ~12Mo)

VisionFactory software is about to undergo several major updates. Adding input devices handling (midi / joystick / …) with easy binding to scene properties is on the top of the todo list. The last past few weeks, I worked on integrating Python scripting in this framework. It’s in its early stage of development, but the first tests were quite positive, and being able to script scenes at runtime sounds pretty exciting! Hmmm, I also have to re-work the UI layer since my controls panels are a bit … disordered.
