About

“I created Visor VJ because I love creative coding and wanted to make it easier to use in live performances. It all started in 2018 with a Ruby version where you could live code Processing sketches and perform with them as a VJ. The software has iterated a lot since then, tested extensively at gigs and music festivals throughout New Zealand. Visor VJ takes the original concept and reshapes it for the future.”

What happened to the Ruby version?

The Ruby version is now considered legacy but is still available to download. Visit the website here.
