- The MR Toolkit Version 1.0
-
-
- The MR Toolkit is a subroutine library that supports the development
- of Virtual Reality user interfaces and other forms of three dimensional
- user interfaces. The MR Toolkit provides support for various devices,
- such as the Polhemus Isotrak digitizer, VPL DataGlove, VPL EyePhone and
- sound synthesis equipment, that are commonly used in VR systems.
-
- The MR Toolkit also supports the distribution of the user interface
- over multiple workstations, data distributed over several workstations,
- numerous interaction techniques, physical and virtual geometry management,
- and real-time performance analysis tools. The current version of the
- MR Toolkit is callable from C programs on SGI and DEC workstations.
- Some elements of the MR Toolkit will also run on other UNIX platforms.
