Hi all,

Please consider coming to our DIVERSE BOF at SIGGRAPH:

   Thursday, July 31, 10:00am - 11:00am
   Los Angeles Convention Center, Room 511C

DIVERSE is a free, open-source device-independent Virtual Environment
(VE) and networked simulation API. It has a highly flexible design which
emphasizes reuse and reconfiguration of tools over recoding.

DIVERSE's DPF module uses OpenGL Performer to generate its graphics.

DIVERSE provides:

    * a common user interface to interactive graphics and/or VE programs.
      Using DIVERSE the same program can be run on a CAVE(TM),
      ImmersaDesk(TM), HMD, desktop and laptop without modification.

    * a common API to VE oriented hardware such as trackers, wands,
      joysticks, and motion bases.

    * a "remote shared memory" facility that allows data from hardware or
      computation to be asynchronously shared between both local and
      remote processes

DIVERSE is being used for scientific visualization, architectural and
interior design walkthroughs, medical education and user interface design
studies and other applications in both immersive and desktop environments.

For more information check out the web page- diverse.sourcefore.net.

See you in Los Angeles,

-John
