There is a field of performative art called live visuals, mostly for music festivals and parties but also for theater and just as stand alone installation that involves creating live video content. There are different popular applications for this like vdmx, resolume (more playback), modul8 or touchdesigner, all with different drawbacks and strengths. A lot of them can interact between each other and with video mapping software (to map your output to more complex surfaces) through video protocols like syphon, spout or ndi. Game engines that can create poverfull, interactive graphics would be awesome for that purpose. And there is a lack of open source free software in that field. I think at some point godot had some spout integration - but I think it does not work anymore.
It is still kind of niche, so not so difficult to get into - it’s fun way to perform your video stuff in front of people and if you are into partying it’s really fun. There is some demand for good people.
I think there was a plug in for spout, but it’s not working anymore. And I’m in best case python scipter, not sure that would be enough to make one myself.

Thank you for that description and that whole side of things sounds so very interesting.

If you know what you’re doing, that sounds like something that could probably be done with a plug in. You could start the project yourself.
