This repository has been deprecated. It is replaced by a new version called MinVR2: https://github.com/ivlab/minvr2

##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.).

The main MinVR V1 website is found at http://minvr.github.io/MinVR-Old/](http://minvr.github.io/MinVR-Old/).

##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

###Dependencies and Design Philosophy

MinVR's primary design philosophy is to minimize potential dependency conflicts with other libraries you may be using. The core library depends on Boost, the header-only OpenGL Math Library (http://glm.g-truc.net), and VRPN and TUIO for connecting with input devices.

In addition to the core library, individual App Kits are included for interfacing with a variety of common graphics libraries. Examples for each AppKit are included in their respective directories.
