Graphene is a real-time dashboard and graphing toolkit built with D3.js and Backbone.js. It was originally designed to sit on top of the Graphite data model and API, enabling teams to quickly build live dashboards that show thousands of datapoints updating over time. The project provides a highly customizable and hackable client-side engine: you define “widgets” such as time series graphs, gauges or labels, hook them to data providers, and the toolkit handles ingestion, rendering and live updates. While the code is somewhat dated (it uses Backbone + CoffeeScript/JavaScript rather than newer frameworks), it remains useful for legacy setups or teams wanting to build simple real-time dashboards without heavy infrastructure. The repository includes example dashboards and a builder API to define data sources and widget configurations. It also emphasises aesthetic and performance considerations, aiming to support thousands of data points and live refreshes in the browser.

New version 0.5.2 Released November 2025. Snowmix is a Swiss army knife tool for mixing live and recorded video and audio feeds. It supports 2D and 3D clipping, scaling and transparent overlay of video, png graphics and text. It supports animation of video, images and texts through native commands changing scale, placement, transparency and rotation. Animation and actions can also be controlled through native scripting and an embedded Tcl and/or Python interpreter. Snowmix is designed for control over low bandwidth links and can work as a standalone CLI based program. Control over both CLI and a TCP connections. Input and outputs can be done through GStreamer pipelines or the GStreamer shmsrc/shmsink API. Supported for Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Fedora, Mageia, Manjaro, MX Linux and OpenSUSE (macOS/OS X is partly supported). Free support in the discussion forum. See Snowmix in action on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/Snowmix4video

LiVES mixes realtime video performance and non-linear editing in one professional quality application. It is designed to be simple to use, yet powerful. It is small in size, yet it has many advanced features. Using LiVES, you can start editing and making video right away, without having to worry about formats, frame sizes, or framerates. It is a very flexible tool which is used by both professional VJ's and video editors - mix and switch clips from the keyboard, use dozens of realtime effects, trim and edit your clips in the clip editor, and bring them together using the multitrack timeline. You can even record your performance in real time, and then edit it further or render it straight away. For the more technically minded, the application is frame and sample accurate, and it can be controlled remotely or scripted for use as a video server. And it supports all of the latest free standards.

GSVideo is a cross-platform library for the Processing programming language that provides video support (movie playback, video capture, creation of movie files) through the use of the GStreamer multimedia framework.

pyTivo is both an HMO and GoBack server. Similar to TiVo Desktop pyTivo loads many standard video compression codecs and outputs mpeg2 video to the TiVo. However, pyTivo is able to load MANY more file types than TiVo Desktop.

The Integrating Vision Toolkit (IVT) is a powerful and fast C++ computer vision library with an easy-to-use object-oriented architecture. It offers its own multi-platform GUI toolkit. OpenCV is integrated optionally. Website: http://ivt.sourceforge.net

MplayerXP is branch of well known mplayer (http://mplayerhq.hu) which is based on new (thread based) core. Main goal of this project is to achieve smoothness of video playback due monotonous CPU loading.

TV Station in a box server This is a TV Station scheduled playout video server with statics and animated graphics. (png sequences) Position/Alpha/Size of the PNGs are total configurable. Rundown with time calculations and program scheduling. The software acts like a video server and the GUI conrtol is made over http thru a browser. The output is on the BlackMagic Designs Hardware so the BlackMagic Designs SDK is needed. The software is for Linux and it is planned to stay only on Linux.

Veejay is a visual instrument and real-time video sampler. It allows you to "play" the video like you would play a piano. While playing, you can record the resulting video directly to disk (video sampling).

This Project aims at enhancing the Live 555 Media server to stream MP4 media files and provide Trick Play Functionalities

ANDIAMO (ANimador DIgital Analógico MOdular = Digital-Analog Modular Animator) is a customized software tool for live audiovisual performance. It's main goal is to integrate video (live and pre-recorded) with hand drawing (entered via a graphics tablet)

ArCoLIVE provides a set of open source component-based toolkit for multimedia applications such as chat room, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) conversation, virtual white-board, audio/video conferencing, control connection containers, screen capture and file sharing.

A paint program where the canvas is the visual cortex of a simple kind of artificial intelligence. You paint with the mouse into its dreams and it responds by changing what you painted gradually. There will also be an API for using it with other programs as a general high-dimensional space. Each pixel's brightness is its own dimension. Bayesian nodes have exactly 3 childs because that is all thats needed to do NAND in a fuzzy way as Bayes' Rule which is NAND at certain extremes. NAND can be used to create any logical system. In this early version, I'm still working on edge detection and its understanding of the same shapes at different brightnesses. This will be a module of the bigger Human AI Net project and will be used for adding realtime intuitive high dimensional intelligence in audio and visual interactions with the user.

Near the surface (even horizon) of a black hole, there is maximum information density in units of squared plancks (and some translation to qubits). Similarly, our imagination is the set of all possible things we can draw onto our most dense layer of visual cortex in electricity patterns. Bigger layers have more neurons to handle those possibilities. A Black Hole Cortex is a kind of visual cortex that has density of neuron layers similar to density at various radius from a black hole. What we think our eyes see, the imagination, is the densest and smallest layer. SphereSurfaces outside it recursively have more neurons, more surface area, but less density since it has to eventually dimension-reduce to high level ideas, like there are 10000 Wikipedia page names that cover most parts of the world. We can think of Wikipedia as a layer above our brains, a global SphereSurface of large surface area (a cortex layered on billions of minds) and small (10000 most important pages) density.

Sensors to MIDI management system. This is a project that allows for creating MIDI output from sensors input. This output can then be used in MIDI processors, like GarageBand, Resolum and other real-time multimedia software. The input can be taken from d

Flipbook is made to flip a sequence of images and allow you to study the resulting animation frame by frame. That's it, pure and simple. I will use Flipbook as the glue between my digital stills camera and a final animation. It will import JPEGs or PNGs

This is a java application that monitors Foscam security cameras (currently tested on FI8905W) for over/under exposure and corrects using the camera's HTTP control interface.

Frontera is an open art project which uses interactive video combined with hand tracking to make an "interactive portrait". It uses open standards like OpenCV and the OSC protocol.
