Documentation & Tutorials
Isadora SDK
The Isadora SDK allows you to write your own Isadora modules in C or C++. There is no documentation for the SDK at this time, but the example projects are heavily commented. If you want to make a video processing plugin, you really only need to modify a few items (which are clearly marked) and then write the code to process the video.
Quotes from Isadora Users
"I love Isadora because I find it to parallel the creative process that a choreographer uses with dancers. Isadora's real time effects allow me to experiment with visual media in the studio in much the same way that I experiment with dancers in the studio. This is the best possible scenario - to make artistic choices about the media and the movement in a shared space and in relation to each other. With the portability of a laptop, camera, and projector, choreographers can easily take Isadora into the space with their dancers and make interactive works in which the technology is truly integral to the live performance." — Jennifer Keller, Choreographer & Lecturer
