Its language VL combines metaphors known from dataflow, functional and object oriented programming.There is no need to write any code, unless you really want to.Inherently Fastvvvv programs are compiled and run on the .NET virtual machine. As such they are as fast as if you’d write them in C#.Want to use all the cores of your CPU? With VL it requires no rocket science to have parts of your program run on separate threads.Quick To Iteratevvvv has one mode: Runtime. Modify your program while it is running, compilation happens in the background.With its state hot-reload technology, vvvv saves you precious time: There is no need to restart your program to see the effects of changes you make.Ready To Connectvvvv comes with support for many hardware devices, like color and depth cameras, the serial port,…Also, it speaks most common protocols, like OSC, Midi, UDP, TCP, Redis, DMX, Art-Net, Firmata, ZMQ, MQTT, Websocket, HTTP, RCP,…Open To Extendvvvv can be extended with custom nodes written in pure C#. No proprietary plugin-wrapping boilerplate code is needed.This allows you to directly consume almost any .NET library from nuget.org, without having to write a single line of code.Proven To Performvvvv’s initial release was in 2002. It is since in use by people around the world to build live-shows, permanent interactive/immersive experiences and custom media servers.Built To Be Learnedvvvv comes with a built-in HelpBrowser that gives you direct access to examples and explanations. A series of video tutorials provides you with the fundamentals in no time.If you need a hand, a caring community is waiting for you to join. vvvv’s chat and forums are both open 24/7.The Road AheadWant to know what we are currently working on and what to expect in upcoming releases?Check Our RoadmapMulti-ParadigmCombines metaphors known from dataflow, functional and object-oriented programmingStrictly evaluatedRegions aka visual code blocks (loops, if, delegates, ...)Process nodes aka simple lifetime managementAdaptive nodes aka adhoc polymorphismAdvanced Type SystemStatically typedAutomagic type inferenceFirst class support for mutable and immutable datatypesGenerics aka parametric polymorphism (with bounded quantification)Interfaces aka subtype polymorphismSupportive IDERuntime value inspectionReactive/Async programmingEasy multithreadingCompiles to C# using RoslynConsumes any .NET assembly by providing all methods as nodesCore Libraries2d drawing (GPU accelerated) with SVG and PDF export based on SkiaSharpDear ImGui based rapid UI creationSerialization, async File IO, XML and JSON parsing and generation2d and 3d math library with collision detection operations3D renderingHigh-level scenegraph based workflow with lights, shadows, an extensive material pipeline and various PostFX (ambient occlusion, depth of field, …)Low-level shader based workflow with full access to the engineOpenXR supportBased on the Stride 3d EngineWebRenderer based on CEFVisual GPU programmingProcedural noiseSigned distance field renderingCustomizable particle systemsVector fieldsFluid simulationProvided via the contributed FUSE libraryComputer VisionImage filtersFeature detection and trackingAruco 3D marker trackingCamera and projector calibrationBased on OpenCVSharpMachine LearningUse GPU accelerated MediaPipe modelsControlling Wekinator models is available via a contributed packageDevices and IO ProtocolsKinect v1, v2, AzureIntel RealSense, Orbbec Astra, StereoLabs ZED, NuitrackIndustrial cameras by The Imaging SourceuEye & uEye+ cameras by IDS-ImagingHand tracking devices by UltraleapDeckLink capture cards by Blackmagic DesignSerialPort, OSC, MIDI, Redis, DMX, Art-Net, Firmata, UDP, TCP, RCP, WebSocket, HTTP, ZMQ, MQTT, …Anything missing?Browse the full list of VL packages availableAccess >100k .NET packages via nuget.orgLearn about extending vvvv with your own nodesBlogRecent posts:vvvvhat happened in April 2026Last month in reviewMay 5, 202634. vvvv worldwide meetupCommunity IRL and real-time!Apr 26, 2026Last Call: vvvv Beginner Class Summer 2026Community Your entry point into the world of vvvvApr 20, 2026LINK - the vvvv Summer Camp 26 - Registration open!Community A community event for everyone, no matter if you’re new to vvvv or already a pro.Apr 16, 2026All postsFilter: CategoryMonthly Reviews News Development News Dates Vvvv Gamma Releases Vvvv Beta Releasesor Year2026 2025 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005ShowcaseShowreelsProjects 2018 ~ 2024Projects 2002 ~ 2019Recent ProjectsMachine Dreams: BiophiliaUnfolding across the parametric architectural surface of Google’s Charleston East Corridor atrium, Machine Dreams: Biophilia is a large-scale immersive media installation.Unfolding across the parametric architectural surface of Google’s Charleston East Corridor atrium, Machine Dreams: Biophilia is a large-scale immersive media installation.Refik Anadol StudioYou Are Part of HistoryA series of six interconnected and highly participative media installations for the new permanent exhibition at the Haus der Geschichte in Bonn.A series of six interconnected and highly participative media installations for the new permanent exhibition at the Haus der Geschichte in Bonn.SCHNELLE BUNTE BILDERKUWAIT PAVILLION - EXPO OSAKAFor the presentation of the state of Kuwait at the Expo 2025 in Osaka, m box created an interactive projection onto an oval dome.
