20:00 Uhr / 8.00 PM / Thomas Mann

Thomas Mann, who has a background in architecture, and his friends founded the studio FRAMEFIELD ten years ago to craft user-centered apps for VR, AR, 3D and medical. To that end, they developed the open-source software TOOLL. It leverages visual programming to provide a workflow for realtime graphics, creative coding and procedural animations.

With origins in the demo scene TOOLL has extensive methods for syncing with music and the completely rewritten version 3 focusses on live performance and VJing.
