Visualization framework for CAVE virtual reality systems

We have developed a software framework for scientific visualization in immersive-type, room-sized virtual reality (VR) systems, or Cave automatic virtual environment (CAVEs). This program, called Multiverse, allows users to select and invoke visualization programs without leaving CAVE's VR space. Multiverse is a kind of immersive desktop environment for users, with a three-dimensional graphical user interface. For application developers, Multiverse is a software framework with useful class libraries and practical visualization programs as samples.
