The immersive space creation revolution continues with OnInOff 1.3.0 update
- OnInOff is an intuitive, easy-to-use combination of software and hardware that bridges digital and physical systems, giving artists a streamlined tool to create immersive, interactive spaces.
OnionLab created OnInOff for those moments when tools should disappear and creation should take center stage. It wasn’t about features or technical specs – it was about that rare feeling when software stops being an obstacle and starts feeling like an extension of thought.
Combining a user-friendly digital platform with a node-based camera system, OnInOff integrates seamlessly with 3D creation tools like Unreal Engine or TouchDesigner—unlocking limitless creative potential and breaking the boundaries of imagination. With this latest update, OnInOff builds upon these strengths while further refining its core features. Here, we break down the latest features.
SUPPORT FOR HOKUYO LIDARS
Our software is designed for maximum versatility, offering compatibility with industry-leading platforms like Processing, Touch Designer, Unreal Engine, Unity, and Ventuz.
With OnInOff 1.3.0, we’re taking this flexibility even further – now you can seamlessly work with Hokuyo lidar systems across all these environments. These precision laser sensors from Japan’s Hokuyo Automatic Co. bring professional-grade capabilities for distance measurement and object detection, perfect for autonomous vehicles, robotics, and industrial applications.
Now, this technology will be integrated into the OnInOff system, delivering unprecedented accuracy and personalization for immersive spaces.
IMPROVED CALIBRATION
Fine-tuning your interactive environment is now easier than ever. Users can now recalibrate their installation without restarting the project, saving valuable time during setup and elaboration.
A new dedicated window for canvas calibration provides a better, more focused environment for an optimized sensor alignment while the new ability to manually edit corner points ensures the perfect mapping even in the most complex spatial configurations.
These improvements make the calibration phase faster, intuitive, personalizable and more accurate than ever.
UPGRADED SENSOR SYSTEM
OnInOff 1.3.0 introduces smarter, more efficient ways to manage your sensor system. You will now have the ability to enable or disable sensors from the list view, offering more precise control in large-scale or maintenance-heavy installations.
New power settings automate sensor startup and shutdown based on schedule, optimizing energy usage in permanent setups. To speed up configuration standards, a one-click button has been installed to let you apply preferences instantly in all visible sensors, drastically improving the configuration efficiency.
With all these upgrades and some other small improvements, the system is now stronger and more grateful with network interruptions, allowing the user to have a more focused and zero frustrated interaction with the creation platform.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE TRIGGER SYSTEM
The trigger system has been enhanced to offer fully customizable responses when detecting objects or individuals within the interactive space, unlocking a broader range of creative applications and establishing itself as a groundbreaking feature for crafting tailored user engagements. This upgraded functionality introduces granular control, allowing triggers to be activated and fine-tuned on a per-object basis.
Users can now define specific parameters that govern how the system reacts when an object enters or exits the designated detection area, providing unprecedented precision in shaping interactive behaviors.
USER INTERFACE AND SYSTEM OPTIMITZATION
The stability of the system has been optimized. Some bugs and the interface has been refined to ensure a comfortable workplace for the user and a peak intuitive experience with the surface.
USER EXPERIENCE
The log system has been renewed and improved into a more intuitive and clean system. The offline environment has been optimized to ensure uninterrupted system operations without frequent activations. Also, the log system now accelerates issue diagnosis and improves technical support capabilities
NEURONAL MODE
We’re excited to announce our experimental Neuronal Mode (currently in development), which pioneers AI-powered object detection.
This cutting-edge feature leverages machine learning and complex pattern recognition to potentially revolutionize motion tracking – offering smarter anticipation and unprecedented precision for next-gen immersive experiences.
With all these new improvements, OnInOff redefines digital creations through audiovisual technology, offering a cutting-edge platform that will allow artists to materialize their ideas and artistic projects through immersive spaces, virtual reality, and interactive environments.
