Hydra is a browser-based livecoding environment for generating and mixing networked realtime visuals, inspired by analog modular synthesizers. It lets users chain functions to composite video sources, webcams, and generated graphics across multiple framebuffers shared between connected browsers.
Use cases
- livecode generative visuals in the browser
- mix webcam feeds with generated graphics in realtime
- stream and route video between connected browsers
- create VJ visuals for performances
- sketch shader-like visuals with chained functions
- collaborate on shared browser visual streams
When to avoid
- you need production-grade video editing or compositing software
- you require support for browsers other than Chrome/Chromium
- you need a stable, fully supported tool for critical projects
- you work without WebGL-capable hardware
