About LiveLab:
Minimum Environment Requirements:

LiveLab is an open-sourced, browser-based media routing software designed for online collaborative performance.

The software was originally created by new media artist Olivia Jack and then further developed by the creative technologist team of CultureHub Inc., a global art & technology community founded by SeoulArts & La MaMa.

This innovative browser-based software expands the current field of offerings by allowing users to customize media in ways that best suit users’ needs, which empowers artists and arts presenters to meet, create, collaborate, rehearse, and ultimately produce multi-location performances from virtually anywhere in the world.

Using open-sourced webRTC technology, LiveLab helps democratize the accessibility to telecommunication for creators around the world.

The latest version of Google Chrome installed.

Laptop/Desktop with camera and microphone (external or internal).

LiveLab can also be accessed on Android phones or tablets (iOS devices not currently supported).
