Are you developing applications for an Ars Electronica Deep Space? Read on!

While it has always been possible to create content for the Deep Space with vvvv, with the recent addition of support for Stereoscopic Rendering, it is now also possible to use the Deep Space’s active-stereo rendering capabilities.

To simplify things to the max, with the new VL.DeepSpace pack we provide a node-set to work with the Deep Space specific Wall/Floor setup and its laser-based floor tracking. The synchronization of values between wall and floor PCs is easily handled via vvvv’s Public Channel Bindings.

Getting started

It is basically zero-setup: You start from a working template and add your own content:

• Download the latest vvvv gamma 8.0 preview
• Open the Help Browser, search for “deepspace”, download the pack and check out the samples
• Take one of the samples and save them in a local work folder to modify it

Boygrouping

vvvv’s upcomming distributed rendering feature called “Boygrouping” will make developing for the Deep Space even more practical. You develop on a laptop connected to the 2 PCs and any change you make is instantly replicated on the big screen. No need to compile a program and distribute it to the target machines. Follow this blog to be the first to learn about its availability. Coming soon™.

Live Demos at Ars Electronica 2026

At this years Ars Electronica festival in Linz there will be 2 live demos of vvvv in the Deep Space:

• Wednesday, September 9: 11:00 - 11:30 Live-programming Deep Space 8K with vvvv
• Friday, September 11: 17:00 – 18:00 as part of Endless Possibilities a meetup for the worldwide Deep Space community

Sounds good but you still find something missing? We do offer custom support. Please get in touch!
