What is Vuo?

Vuo lets media creators make interactive animations, exhibits, performances, and professional-grade media projects by connecting up simple building blocks. Media creators can use these blocks to manipulate audio input, images, layers, videos, and 2D + 3D graphics, as well as record high-quality video of the results.

Vuo's features include:

Real-time interaction using audio input, MIDI, OSC, and Art-Net DMX integration, or Kinect, Leap Motion and HID device input
Sharing visuals with other Mac apps through Syphon
High-quality video export and interactive recording
Exporting compositions as Mac apps
CPU and GPU performance optimizations, including automatic multi-threading, compilation to machine code, and shader-based OpenGL
Support for new users (https://vuo.org/start), including video tutorials
Subcompositions: the ability to turn a composition into a reusable node in your Node Library.

Vuo has a free, open source Community Edition for personal use and small organizations (https://vuo.org/download) and a Pro version for medium and large organizations and for access to more features (https://vuo.org/buy).
