Microdose VR presents a revolutionary platform for visual artists and performers seeking to push the boundaries of their craft. It's not just software; it's a gateway to creating immersive, interactive experiences that redefine the relationship between
artist, audience, and visuals.
Beyond Traditional VJing:
Microdose VR transcends the limitations of traditional VJ software by offering realtime 3D graphics rendering. This means VJs are no longer confined to prerendered content and 2D visuals. Instead, they can build entire worlds, morphing landscapes, and abstract shapes that respond dynamically to music and audience interaction.
Key Features for VJs:
Realime Visuals: Manipulate and generate 3D graphics on the fly, allowing for improvisation and responsiveness to the music and energy of the audience using VR or a gamepad controller.
Sync with the music
Tap directly from the gamepad controller, keyboard, Touch OSC or inside VR to match the visuals with the tempo. With recently added Gamepad Mode, Microdose VR is much easier to play. Using Microdose VR together with your Wireless Gamepad, you can make visuals right on your TV or at a party on the dancefloor.
VR goggles no longer required.
Take off the VR goggles, pickup a gamepad and get lit.
Interactive Environments: Create worlds that react to user input, blurring the line between performer and participant and fostering a sense of co-creation.
Customizable Shader Library: Access a vast library of shaders and effects to craft unique visual styles and aesthetics.
MIDI and OSC Control: Integrate with MIDI controllers and OSC protocols for seamless control over visuals and parameters.

The Future of VJing is Here:
Microdose VR empowers VJs to become architects of immersive experiences, going beyond simply providing visuals to actively shaping the audience's perception and emotional response. While the platform demands a higher level of technical expertise, it rewards those willing to learn with a powerful tool for creative expression and innovation. For VJs looking to push the boundaries and explore the uncharted territories of visual performance, Microdose VR offers a glimpse into the future.
Software Capabilities:
Real-time 3D graphics rendering: Microdose VR allows users to generate and manipulate 3D graphics in real-time, enabling the creation of dynamic and responsive visuals. This opens doors for VJs to craft immersive environments and abstract shapes that react to music and audience interaction.
Interactive environments: The software facilitates the creation of interactive spaces where users can influence the visuals through their movements and choices. This interactivity could be harnessed by VJs to create a more engaging and participatory experience for the audience.
Biofeedback integration: Microdose VR is exploring the integration of biofeedback devices, potentially allowing visuals to respond to users' physiological states. This could add a new dimension to VJ performances, where visuals become a reflection of the artist's or even the audience's emotional state.
VR compatibility: As the name suggests, Microdose VR is designed for virtual reality experiences. This allows for creating truly immersive and 360-degree visual environments, offering a level of audience immersion that goes beyond traditional VJ setups however VR goggles no longer required (if you prefer).
Overall, Microdose VR presents exciting possibilities for VJs and visual artists. Its real-time 3D graphics, interactivity, and potential for biofeedback integration open doors for creating immersive, engaging, and personalized visual experiences. While challenges remain in terms of technical expertise and accessibility, Microdose VR could very well be a glimpse into the future of visual performance art.
