LuaAV

LuaAV is an integrated programming environment based upon extensions to the Lua programming language to enable the tight real-time integration of computation, time, sound and space. It is intended to support:

• Computational Audiovisual Composition
• Interactive arts
• Multimedia development research
• Scientific visualization
• Research application development

LuaAV consists of the shell of an application/environment (OS abstractions of Windowing, UI events and file system), the Lua language itself, script management, and a growing, extensible set of generic and media oriented extension modules:

• OpenGL
• Muro (graphics)
• Vessel (real-time audio)
• Time (scheduling & clocks)
• Space (proximity & distance)
• OSC, MIDI, HID
• GLV (OpenGL based GUI)
• ODE (Open Dynamics Engine)
• Vec (3-vectors & quaternions)
• Color

In addition, any standard Lua modules can be used in LuaAV.
