Official MinVR repository. A virtual reality library.
###Introduction
MinVR is an open-source cross-platform virtual reality library initially developed at the University of Minnesota Interactive Visualization Lab. It supports interaction with multiple VR input devices and display configurations (e.g. fish-tank VR displays, powerwalls, and CAVE systems), while allowing for integration with a variety of graphics toolkits (e.g. raw OpenGL, G3D, Glut, OpenSceneGraph, etc.).
###MinVR Features and Design
Core Library Features:
- window configuration
- stereo output for various display devices
- input device configuration
- input events for VR, multi-touch, and other non-keyboard, mouse, joystick events based on VRPN
- setting up head tracking and appropriate projection matrices
- multi-threaded rendering with support for multiple graphics windows (i.e., multiple graphics contexts), one per thread
