<p>80.121.34.13: /* Software */</p> <hr /> <div>== About ==<br /> The ''Tagtool'' is an [[open source]] instrument for drawing and animation in a live [[performance]] situation. Its development is coordinated by [http://www.oma-international.com OMA International]. The project aims to explore digital drawing as a means for communication - on stage, on the street and over the internet. It is in use as a visual instrument in theatres, youth centers, at jam sessions with musicians and for performances in public spaces. It serves as a VJ tool, a creative video game for children, and an intuitive tool for creating animation.<br /> <br /> The Tagtool is operated collaboratively by an artist drawing the pictures and an animator adding movement to the artwork with a gamepad. The design achieves virtually unlimited artistic complexity with a simple set of controls, which can be mastered even by children.<br /> <br /> == Hardware ==<br /> Three different types of the Tagtool have been developed so far:<br /> <br /> * ''Tagtool V2'' is the second prototype of the Tagtool, which has an integrated computer.<br /> * ''Tagtool Suitcase'' contains the controls for the tagtool and a graphics tablet (used with a separate computer). Find out how to build your own Tagtool Suitcase at Instructables.<br /> * ''Tagtool Mini'' is a compact box that contains the Tagtool controls (used with a computer and a graphics tablet).<br /> <br /> == Software ==<br /> <br /> The software running on the ''Tagtool'' is the Nodekit- an open source node-based toolkit for live performance drawing &amp; animating. It is licensed under the [[GNU]] GPL 2.0. Development is hosted on Launchpad.<br /> <br /> == Weblinks ==<br /> <br /> [http://tagtool.org/ Tagtool.org]<br /> <br /> [http://tagtool.org/developer Developer Zone]<br /> <br /> [http://www.oma-international.com OMA international GmbH]</div>
