VM-1

Open-Source Video Mixer Platform
with Julian Jungel
VM-1 is an open software for live mixing of videos, camera images, and generative graphics. As a creative coding toolkit for artists and VJs, VM-1 enables easy preparation and execution of live performances. Especially with regard to the educational sector, the software is initially being developed for the widespread and cost-effective Raspberry Pi platform, allowing creative media projects to be implemented without high expenses. This project is on-going and currently in prototyping stage.
