WIAnode Wireless Interactive Art Node (Compatible with TouchDesigner / Unity / Unreal / Max)

The WIAnode is a plug-and-play, wireless data interaction node engineered for new media artists, exhibition integrators, and creative coders. Designed to replace complex microcontroller setups, it bridges physical sensors with professional creative software seamlessly. By utilizing a built-in MQTT server and unified data protocols, WIAnode reduces sensor-to-software setup time from days to under three minutes—requiring zero coding.

Zero-Code & Ready-to-Use

Bypass Arduino / ESP32 development environments entirely. Sensor data is formatted and pushed directly to target software without a single line of code. From unboxing to acquiring the first data stream, the process takes less than three minutes.

Effortless USB-Drive Network Configuration

Connecting the device to a computer via Type-C prompts it to mount as a standard USB flash drive. Wi-Fi credentials can be configured directly in the text file—no drivers, third-party software, or serial monitors required. Once configured, the IP address is displayed on the built-in OLED screen for instant software connection.

Decentralized Wireless Deployment

Each WIAnode features a built-in MQTT server acting as a local data hub, eliminating the need for external server setup. Wi-Fi connectivity ensures clean, cable-free installations, making it highly suitable for large-scale, multi-node distributed projects across exhibitions or stage setups.

Native Software Integration

WIAnode features standardized data output formatting (MQTT + unified data protocol) and comes with native plugins for TouchDesigner. It is fully compatible with major platforms including Unity, Unreal Engine, Max/MSP, and vvvv. Furthermore, its multi-client architecture allows multiple software instances to pull data from a single module simultaneously, enabling parallel team development.
