Our recent publication, <a href="https://doi.org/10.5334/jors.477"><em>nub: A Rendering and Interaction Library for Visual Computing in Processing</em></a>, introduces a functional and declarative API, built around a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dataflow">dataflow</a>-based architecture that integrates rendering and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event-driven_programming">event-driven</a> interaction through a simple yet powerful scene graph model.</p> <p>Built on top of Processing’s 2D/3D environment, <a href="https://github.com/VisualComputing/nub">nub</a> offers a lightweight and expressive foundation for <strong>education</strong>, <strong>research</strong>, and <strong>experimentation</strong> in visual computing. It supports hierarchical rendering, multi-view scenes, view-based interaction, and extensible workflows for interactive content.</p>
