Summertime!

First off, we had a blast at LINK - the vvvv summercamp. Organized by The NODE Institute in collaboration with remony, it turned out to be as cozy as last time. Thanks everyone who joined for the great conversations and to those who didn’t make it: Next time!

Right before LINK we released a new maintainance update, please check the changelog for vvvv gamma 7.3.

Our quest to make vvvv a great tool for controlling lasers is showing its first fruits. The following laser DACs are now supported:

• Moncha Laser DACs
• Helios Laser DACs

Up next: A preview of vvvv gamma 8.0 including the long promised package manager and distributed rendering aka “boygrouping”. We’re in final polishing on these…

In case you haven’t noticed yet, we’ve reworkd the Features section of the website, giving a one-stop overview of what vvvv is good for.

Aaand already coming up this week: The 35th vvvv worldwide meetup. Hope to see you there!
