https://vortex-live.com/Some background since I don't think I covered it for /news/ before (this was two years ago). vortex was initially funded/created through a crowd funding campaign and existing assets of ProjectBLUE members with the goal of lowering the cost of producing virtual lives. They've rigged their unity based virtual stage system to work with industry standard audio/video mixers, lighting and camera controllers. They wanted to run the studio/space like a real live house where artists can bring their own VJ/audio engineer/stage production staff and do a day/weekend gigs. During the first year, they got the price of doing 3d live as low as 50k yen. I'm sure it's a bit more now. picrel are some of the lives they've produced
