live visuals

Real-time stage graphics

Live visuals are real-time video projections or digital imagery displayed during performances, especially at concerts, DJ sets, and club events.

A VJ (video jockey) typically creates or manipulates these visuals to synchronize with music, using software that responds to audio input or manual control.

The term distinguishes these dynamic, responsive projections from pre-recorded video: The band toured with an artist who did live visuals behind them.
