Vroom is a high-level programming framework for developing immersive virtual reality applications. It is written in python and uses the Vrui (Virtual Reality User-Interface) library.
The goal of vroom is to make it easy to visualize and interact with 3D data and simulations. This is what a vroom application looks like.
#!/usr/bin/env vroom
from vroom import *
def init():
Global.points = [] # list of (x,y,z) position values
# add a clear button to the main menu
addMainMenuItem('clear', clear_points)
def clear_points(button):
# remove all points
Global.points = []
def display():
# set up the rendering environment
lighting(False)
color(green)
# draw a wireframe sphere at each point
draw(sphere, 3.0).for_each(Global.points)
def button_press(pos, button);
# add a point whenever the user presses a button
Global.points.append(pos)On Ubuntu, vroom can be installed from the [KeckCAVES PPA][keckcaves-ppa].
