HC Gilje’s Video Projection Tool is a powerful, open-source, Max-produced tool for video projection and projection mapping on surfaces. The new 4.0 release adds a whole bunch of goodness, including mixing signals and an enhanced interface:
- 16 layers (previously 8 )
- 2 live sources (previously 1)
- 8 A-B mixers (previously 0)
- greatly improved MIDI and OSC capabilities
- enhanced interface
- monitor preview for 2ndmonitor (single screen, matrox 2x or 3x),live camera.
- lots of bug ?xes and more ef?cient code.
I had been interested in doing a Processing port – which, in turn, could produce OpenGL results that would be easily adapted to other environments. This fall, I may actually get around to doing that; I may need to because of projects coming up. But if you’re a Max user, you can edit the patches yourself. (If you’re not, you can use the pre-built version.)
If you use VPT, send us the results – even rough experiments are welcome; we’d love to hear what you’re doing and hear how your experience goes!
If you're looking for something similar in Processing, I just started a project called Keystone: http://keystonep5.sourceforge.net/
It does multiple surfaces, calibration (works well with GLGraphics but its not a requirement).
Let me know if you'd like to contribute new features 🙂
This seems to be a really cool application. I finally both my 15" MacBook Pro and im ansious to give a try out 🙂
please tell, witch program(VJ) i can use in VPT like live source or maybe i need one more(another) program to do this?
sorry for English hope you understand what I mean))

Does anyone know that you can use syphon with VPT?
Thanx
Version 5, which is going to be out around mid-december, will have syphon in support.
