Line 1:

The '''Virtual Light Machine''' ('''VLM''') is a [[light synthesizer]] developed by [[Jeff Minter]] in 1990.<ref name="llama"/> It was installed into a number of electronics, including the [[Atari Jaguar CD]] and [[Nuon (DVD technology)|Nuon]] [[DVD]] players.

The Virtual Light Machine is, basically put, very similar to what would later be seen in [[music visualization]]s included with [[Winamp]] and other [[media player (application software)|Media player]]s. When an [[Red Book (audio CD standard)|audio CD]] is put into a VLM compatible device, the VLM loads, manifesting visualizations which appear on the screen that change with the music. The VLM is set apart from simple music visualizers by an interactive mode that allows users to manipulate graphics generation on the fly.
