Oldies but goldies

working with QRCodes? yes there is QRCode (EX9.Texture) to create QRCodes but how about reading them? well, already two years ago kiilo provided a QRCode Reader he based on the great ZXing library. sources included. very handy!

Gallery

always good for a surprise this tekcor guy. if i am not mistaken he claims this video to be made entirely with vvvv. chapeau for the unique style:

also worth mentioning this latest work by refik anadol which features some vvvv: Virtual Depictions: San Francisco comes with some more details in this article on creativeapplications.

and while on that site i spotted at least three projects among the 10 most memorable projects of 2015 realized with vvvv:

Satelliten:

In the Eyes of the Animal – Marshmallow Laser Feast:

483 Lines – Projecting analogue video picture on 483 nylon threads:

Education

microdee is really meaning it. he continued his series of vveekendvvorkshops nearly every week. even had some guest lecturers over. what a great idea and realization. now everybody go and click the flattr button on his userpage to show your support. if you want! no pressure. OR you go to the vveekendvvorkshops page on patreon and show your appreciation there. either way is fine.

if you're not convinced yet just follow the vveekendvvorkshops youtube channel for a start.

VL

and of course VL our next-generation visual programming language is in active development and did some nice steps forward as you can read in the devvvv blog:
