<![CDATA[[LOGGED] Displaying and compositing images as they are downloaded to hard drive]]>Wondering whether isadora is the appropriate tool for a theatre performance where we download audience content in real-time, and use it on the video projectors. 

I have a script that is downloading images to a folder on my computer. Is there anyway to have Isadora process these in real-time, as they are downloaded into the folder? These images would then need to be composited and displayed on up to 7 different screens.

I built an installation that enables users to add a screengrab of themselves to an ever-growing animation.

Isadora doesn't has Dynamic Media support, what you can do through is use some creative coding to bypass that. Basically we use Processing to create a Spout Image (Basically a image that is shared multiple applications using your GPU)


It is workable and stable, the patch time only takes longer. Please see my example project here : https://community.troikatronix...
