Visual Application Development - VR-Vantage Toolkit

Flexible Platform for 2D & 3D Innovation

The VR-Vantage Toolkit is a powerful and flexible platform for developing 2D and 3D visualization applications. Using a C++ API, you can easily embed out-the-window visuals, 2D tactical maps, sensor or camera displays, or 3D informational overlays direct­ly into your own simulation applications. Whether you are building a first-person virtual trainer, a custom command-and-control interface, or a 3D battlefield analysis tool, the VR-Vantage Toolkit provides the visual features you need to get the job done quickly. You can also use the VR-Vantage Toolkit to extend or customize MÄK’s VR-Vantage XR, VR-Vantage Stealth, VR-Vantage Plan View Display, and VR-Vantage IG applications.  

• 3D visuals for virtual simulators
• 2D moving map displays
• Sensor or camera channels
• Built on OpenSceneGraph
• Distributed rendering
• Game-like Navigation
• Qt-based GUI Framework
• HLA, DIS, and CIGI Compliant

Turbo-charge Your Development

Are you considering using OpenSceneGraph for your project? A popular open-source 3D scene graph API, OSG is an excellent starting point for developing visual applica­tions. But a typical OSG user must spend lots of time and money on common infrastruc­ture development before even starting to implement project-specific functionality.

The VR-Vantage Toolkit provides the higher-level visualization platform you need — so that you don’t have to build it yourself. VR-Vantage uses OpenSceneGraph as its core but adds a broad range of content and capability — pre-integrated into a single, commercially supported off-the-shelf package. Start with the VR-Vantage Toolkit and you can immediately begin working on your application-specific functionality, giving you a leg up on your competition and allowing you to execute your projects with much lower risk.
