Crane Ship Simulator Drives the Need for Innovative Software
DIVERSE • Device Independent Virtual Environments- Reconfigurable, Scalable, Extensible
What is DIVERSE? • API for “Distributed Virtual Reality” applications • Desktop to CAVE™ without modification • Common interface to VE oriented hardware • Free open-source software • Runs on SGI and Linux
The Two Parts of DIVERSE • DIVERSE graphics interface for Performer™ (dgiPf) • 3D Virtual Environment (VE) • DIVERSE ToolKit (DTK) • access to local and networked devices and data
dgiPf Provides: • Hardware abstractions • Stereo/mono displays • Head tracked / fly view • Reconfiguration without program modification
DTK Provides: • Server: remote shared memory based hardware interface • Library: uniform interface to services • Client programs: manage server and utilities
DEMO • Linux laptop • CAVE simulator
