During the first year of the pandemic my friends at NODE – Forum for Digital Arts had to face the challenge of rethinking their successful on-site festival and transferring its spirit to a hybrid on-site/off-site production.
I was asked by the team to partner up with tracking system provider Stage Precision and develop a software and framework, covering the needs to run a livestreamed show with augmented reality elements placed in the studio - while also committing to use vvvv's unreleased (at the time) integration of the Stride Render Engine to provide an early case study.
