On 1 September 2022 we held the third annual workshop on the mapping tools project (libmapper and surrounding tools). This year we had presentations and discussions covering:
- recent related projects and publications, including ForceHost and Mapper4Live
- updates to libmapper, language bindings, and user interfaces
- integration with FAUST and Ableton Live
- (re)release of the pySignalPlotter utility
- a proposal for adding quaternion support to the libmapper expression engine
- a proposal for a standard MIME type for referring to libmapper objects, enabling drag-and-drop mapping between signals
- a proposal for expression-language extensions for supporting “self-timed” periodic map updates and synchronized transports
- a proposal for adding support for “datasets” to libmapper
Video documentation of the workshop will be posted at a later date.
