## What is Ghost Arcade?

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a live visual instrument. Ghost Arcade brings clip launching, generative shaders, layered mixing and projection mapping into one touch-friendly workspace.

PERFORM
Start with a full deck of included shader clips. Launch visuals, select a playing clip to adjust its controls, and double-tap to stop. Mix four layers per deck and explore A/B crossfades in dual-deck mode.

SHAPE YOUR VISUALS
Create projection surfaces and adjust corner or mesh points directly in the preview. Route your composition or individual layers to screens, then add edge effects and Looks.

PLAY YOUR EFFECTS
Apply effects to clips, layers or the composition. Flux combines a touch-controlled X/Y pad with stackable effects for expressive live performance. GhostFX adds smoothly changing, music-responsive visuals.

Ghost Arcade on your phone now works hand in hand with Ghost Arcade on your computer.

AUTO MAP YOUR PROJECTOR
Pair with the free desktop app, point your phone at what the projector lights, and tap Start scan. The projector flashes a few stripes, your phone watches, and every flat surface comes back on the desktop as a layer already in place. No dragging corners.

DESKTOP CONNECT
Scan the QR code on the desktop to pair. Run Interactive Studio scenes on the desktop's GPU, send your camera or depth feed as a live source, and send LiDAR scans straight into the desktop Media Library.

A FASTER DECK
- Blocks are tabs across the top of the deck. Hold a clip to move it.
- Tempo, quantize, A/B and Auto sit together above the deck. Tap the tempo in time to set it.
- Play Flux on the picture while you perform, with six new Flux effects and blend modes.
- Use both hands: launch clips and change effects while a finger stays on the Flux pad.
