And just like that,
half of 2025 is already a goner again. But uh has July been active:
First the 29th vvvv meetup happend, once again giving a great insight what’s currently cooking in the community. And coming up: There’ll be a special edition meetup on September 6 during this years Ars Electronica in Linz!
We made a first demonstration of our work on effortless avateering and you can already test this yourself using the newly released VL.DollarsMoCap NuGet. Support for depthcameras like AzureKinect, Orbbec Femto, Stereolabs ZED is in the works.
Then we finally officially launched what we’ve been working on for quite a while now and what was mostly holding back the upcoming vvvv gamma 7.0 release. Please check these 3 blog posts if you haven’t already:
We also released a new NuGet to easily use Orbbec Femto Bolt and Mega devices via the known AzureKinect set of nodes, see: Introducing: Support for Orbbec Femto devices via K4A
