Questions tagged [vrpn]

VRPN (Virtual Reality Peripheral Network) is a class library for the development of virtual reality applications. VRPN allows to communicate applications (clients) with hardware peripherals (servers) across the network in a transparent way. This tag is for questions regarding the development of clients and servers using VRPN. Questions about the hardware or peripheral usage are off-topic.

Introduction

The aim of VRPN is to ease the creation of Virtual Reality applications by:

  • Providing a simple to use peripheral network that allows you to connect virtual reality applications with physical devices.
  • Hide the peripheral details behind a common layer, so that similar peripherals seem equal to the application.

It is composed of several elements:

  • Class library for the development of client applications and servers.
  • Ready-to-use server library for common peripherals. A partial list can be obtained here.

Tag usage

This tag is for questions regarding the development of clients and servers using VRPN.

Questions regarding the hardware (How do I connect ...? Best way to place cameras?, ...) are off-topic.

Questions regarding the peripheral software usage (How do I calibrate ...?) are off-topic.
