What is ocular.ink

ocular.ink is a browser workspace for live visuals and projection mapping. Mix shaders, video, titles, and 3D on a laptop, map them onto walls, and drive the show from audio, MIDI, DMX, or a tablet — without installing a traditional VJ suite.

Open the app in Brave, Chrome, or Edge on a desktop. Guests can run a full local show. Pro is $20 USD / month and removes the watermark plus cloud, library, and Pro layers.
