VAPS - is a suite of tools for building Human-Machine Interfaces for real-time, interactive, graphical, data driven applications. HMIs built with VAPS are truly visual in nature and allow the interaction with the user's application to occur via graphical representations of real-world objects. The development of an HMI is done graphically with a set of powerful editors supporting an object-oriented development approach. This allows users to intuitively draw objects, specify data driven animation, connect displays to application data, and specify event/response behaviour. Applications are executed in either interpreted mode (VAPS/Runtime) for testing and simulation, or compiled mode (VAPS/CCG) for workstation based or embedded systems. VAPS 3.2 runs on SGI, Sun, HP and IBM workstations and is priced from US $9,500 to $41,500. In 1991, VAPS received the "Best Graphics Software Product of the Year" award from IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications. VAPS is used in: 
Aerospace and Defense (Avionics, ATC, C3I) Transportation (IVHS, Automotive, Dispatch) Network Management (Energy, Communications) Instrumentation (Medical, Distribution) Process Control (Manufacturing, Distribution)
