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]] 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.
Line 6:
Three versions of the VLM software were released. VLM-1 is the version installed and developed for the Atari Jaguar CD. Nuon players featured version VLM-2. VLM-3 was to be the basis of the [[video game]] ''[[Unity (video game)|Unity]]'', which was in turn upgraded to form the basis of the [[Neon (light synthesizer)|Neon]] light synthesizer, utilized in the [[Xbox 360]] and Minter's ''[[Space Giraffe]]''.
A prototype dubbed VLM-0 was demonstrated at several concerts and [[rave]]s but was not made widely available.<ref name="llama">[http://www.llamasoft.co.uk/vlm.php Llamasoft: VLM - History]</ref>
