The framework provides a comprehensive set of features to support classic Virtual Reality (VR) and advanced Augmented Reality (AR) equally well. The goal was to provide a very simple application interface while still including the latest research results in the fields of high-realistic rendering, 3D user interaction and total-immersive display technology. The system design includes various industry standards, like VRML and X3D, to easy the application development and deployment.
