Visuals should scale with your imagination, not your budget.
Invasiv is a lightweight, C++ powered engine designed for distributed environments. Instead of one massive computer struggling with cables, Invasiv uses multiple affordable nodes—one at every projector—synchronized instantly over a standard network.

The Skewer Method
1. Pin the Action
Open raw footage in SKEWER. Mark exactly when your nail is hit or your dancer kicks. Pin the events, not the time.
2. Warp the Loop
Export from Skewer. It non-linearly stretches your video so every marked event lands on a perfect 2-second grid.
3. Lock the Beat
Load into INVASIV. As you tap the BPM, the engine adjusts playback speed so your video events stay locked to the musical pulse.
