DarkTube
DarkTube is live and in production. This is its lab: the place where new ideas around it get tried before they graduate.
Clip Drop Experiment
Send a Quest clip (or any video) straight to DarkTube's VR room. Compress it first, if you can: the room is built for small clips and they expire after 7 days. Needs the VR room key.
The Cabinet Experimental
An extension of the Chungus Room where the odd ideas go: The Projector (WebGL lenses, audio-reactive glow) and Frame Séance (pick your thumbnail frame). Open the Cabinet →
What lives here
VR clip pipeline The Quest pipeline can send compressed clips to DarkTube (darktube_upload.py), expiring after a week.- Rooms Private spaces with their own rules. The first is a never-expiring room built for a friend of the project.
- The corner portal A page corner that peels back, and a black hole that lands in HD Labs.
- The Dark Archive VR enabled An immersive WebXR viewing room for Meta Quest, on DarkTube.
Next in the lab
- Stronger compression presets and an in-browser squeezer.
- Longer-term storage for clips worth keeping.
- AI-made artwork and short video interludes for rooms.
- Accounts, usernames and custom links.
