The VoxLux Metaverse, developed by Xavier Paradiso starting in 2000, is a next generation realtime visual projection system for creative artistic use. The intent embodied in the architecture is to create a style of visuals aimed at saturating the rational mind with positive healing stimuli in order to bring the viewer to the threshold of the "transrational". Technically the system supports up to 48 layers of CG visuals and can create live music visualization for an entire band simultaneously.The VoxLux Metaverse produces uncompressed, resolution-independent graphics which means it matches the resolution of any display or projector, currently 4K/UHD.Built on OpenGL, originally developed on SGI hardware in 2000 it now runs on Apple hardware.As of 2018, it works in Stereo 3D, and the camera can be flown in 3D with a 3D 6-DOF joystick and operates under thrust/drag physics modeling.The Metaverse is currently being re-envisioned for VR using Unity3D.
