URL: http://code.google.com/p/omicron-sdk Funding: NSF #OCI-0943559 STCI: OptIPlanet Cyber-Mashup omicron sdk is an input abstraction and utility library for virtual reality systems, providing access to a variety of input devices, mostly used in immersive installations and stereo display systems. Some of the devices currently supported by omicron are:
omicron abstracts input using modular event services, each providing access to a specific input device. Events can be easily streamed over the network using the omicron connector API. Also, Event services can be chained together to provide advanced functionality. In addition to event services, omicron provides additional utility APIs to simplify the developement of the non-graphics part of VR applications. These APIs are mostly lightweight wrappers on top of well established open source libraries. omicron includes:
omicron input support can be integrated into C++ applications as a static library, or it can be run as a standalone input server, streaming input data to multiple applications. Omicron comes with client-side interfaces for Unity and Processing. C++, using a single header. Only a few lines of code needed.
