dynamicshow

DynamicShow is a cross-platform framework for creating dynamic, multimedia stage presentations and data-driven visual displays. It provides a runtime capable of rendering complex scenes, handling user input, and integrating live data streams in real time. Designed to be extensible and vendor-agnostic, DynamicShow aims to simplify the development of interactive shows and dashboards that respond to audience or sensor input.

The project originated as an open-source effort in 2020 by artists and engineers seeking a unified tool for live performances. It evolved through community contributions and a modular plugin system, with releases emphasizing performance, accessibility, and interoperability.

Key features include:

- Real-time data binding and state management

- Scene graph with hierarchical transforms and animations

- Multi-format media support (video, audio, images)

- Plugin architecture for inputs, renderers, and effects

- Cross-platform runtime (web, desktop, and embedded devices)

- Scriptable orchestration via a lightweight scripting language or JavaScript

The core engine handles timing, rendering, and event dispatch, while renderer back-ends cover WebGL, Canvas, and native graphics. Data adapters support HTTP, WebSocket, and local streams. The extension system enables plugins for inputs, effects, assets, and workflow automation, with configuration via JSON or YAML.

Common use cases include live stage performances and installations, interactive corporate presentations, real-time data visualizations for dashboards, and educational shows in museums.

DynamicShow is released under an open-source license (MIT-compatible) and encourages community contributions, documentation, and user groups.
