Multitasker erobern sich mit dem Chameleon Video Player Bildschirmfläche zurück - ein Non-Profit-Utility, das Vollbild-Videowiedergabe transparent über den Desktop legt. Windows- und Mac-Nutzer laden Dateien wie MKV, MOV, MP4 oder AVI, oder streamen von Plattformen wie YouTube, Twitch TV, HBO GO, ABC, NBC, TBS, TNT und ESPN. Das halbtransparente Fenster lässt darunterliegende Apps und Steam-Spiele per Maus- und Tastatur-Passthrough voll interaktiv - gesteuert aus dieser Tray-Anwendung.
Dieses Software-Trainingstool steigert die Produktivität für Gamer bei Twitch-Streams, Berufstätige mit Coursera-Kursen oder alle, die Serien bingen, ohne Aufgaben zu unterbrechen. Vielbeschäftigte Nutzer nehmen Online-Vorlesungen auf oder genießen Entertainment, während Hintergrundprogramme laufen. Die kostenlose Demo zeigt, wie es Alltagsroutinen für Bildung und Multitasking verändert.
Chameleon Media Player is non-profit utility software that helps multitaskers reclaim their computer screen space and increase productivity. Windows and Mac users can play video files or stream with their favorite services fullscreen, transparently atop their desktop with full control of the apps beneath. Ideal for gaming on Steam while watching Twitch TV, or simultaneously binging your favorite movies and TV shows while you play.
Chameleon Player loads video files (mkv, mov, mp4, avi) or one of several supported streaming sites, (YouTube, Twitch TV, HBO GO, ABC, NBC, TBS, TNT, ESPN and others*) and displays playback in a fullscreen window over your desktop. By making this window semi-opaque and controllably transparent, your desktop is visible and fully interactable beneath. Since Chameleon is a tray application, all mouse and keyboard events can be passed on to all background programs or Steam games on your computer while playing your favorite videos, youtube videos or streaming shows in the foreground.
I created the software for myself initially and found it to be such a useful tool that I wanted to share it with others. It's completely changed the way I work -- I’ve fit an extra Coursera course into my monthly routine and was able to catch up on the latest season of Rick and Morty with little drop in my work productivity. I also play games on Steam (of course) and being able to watch Twitch and YouTube in the background while gaming is just awesome. I would often mute these games and listen to WNYC or other educational podcasts, but opening this up to videos as well changes everything.
Give the free demo of Chameleon a try and see what I mean! All proceeds help our non-profit, Cinq-Mars Media, to continue its mission of educational research and technology. Originally devised as an educational tool to help busybodies aborb online classes while multitasking and practice learned concepts while watching lecutres, Chameleon can also function as an entertainment app.
