SVN AV Motion
Controller
An audio-visual instrument built for the stage — not the studio. Dance, move, perform. The visuals follow.
01 — The Problem
A gap I want to fill
The starting point was a gap. TouchDesigner is powerful — but it's not something you open at a gig. The learning curve is steep, the interface is built for studios, and it doesn't care about your set starting in ten minutes. For DJs and live audiovisual artists working smaller stages, indie events, and improvised setups, there was no real middle ground between "too complex" and "not enough control."
So I built one.
SVN AV Motion Controller is a browser-based audiovisual motion tool designed for live performance. The idea was simple: give artists a familiar, readable interface — and let their body do the rest. DJs can use their own dance movements to control visuals in real time. Hand position drives the particle field.
Concept, design, and development: solo. Built for the people who need it most.

02 — The Approach
Creative vibe coding. Iterative, instinct-driven.
No specification document. No wireframes. A blank HTML file and a clear purpose. The question was always: does this feel right in practice — not does this look clean in theory.
-
01 — Allow camera access
The tool uses your webcam for hand tracking via MediaPipe. No data is stored or transmitted — everything runs locally in your browser.
-
02 — Hold both hands in front of the camera
The particle field activates as soon as hands are detected. Move slowly at first — the system responds to position, velocity, and gesture simultaneously.
-
03 — Pinch to expand. Victory sign to switch modes.
Pinch gesture controls the size of the particle field. Victory sign with the left hand locks the current mode. Victory sign with the right hand toggles the camera system.
-
04 — Play audio, the visuals react
Allow microphone access or play music near your device. Bass, mid, and high frequencies drive separate visual parameters in real time.
03 — Live Demo
Try it. Right now.
SVN // VJ Controller runs entirely in the browser — no installation, no account, no setup. Open the file, allow camera access, and the instrument is ready. What you see below is the real tool.
Open the standalone file for the complete experience — all visual modes, detachable panel, two-screen setup, and full camera filter system. Hand tracking requires a front-facing camera and sufficient processing power. Chrome or Edge recommended. Mobile works — but the stage version is built for a bigger screen.
