Come to the DIVERSE BOF and get an early seat for the OpenSceneGraph BOF which
follows in the same room.
The DIVERSE demos we'll be showing are using OpenSceneGraph.

DIVERSE BOF
Wednesday, August 8
10:30 - 11:30 am
San Diego Convention Center
Room 29A
DIVERSE-Flexible Source VE API
diverse.sourceforge.net
DIVERSE is a cross-platform, open source, API for developing virtual reality
applications that can run almost anywhere. DIVERSE currently runs on Linux, OS
X and Windows. The goal of DIVERSE is to enable developers to quickly build
applications that will run on the desktop as well as various immersive
systems. To avoid hindering development DIVERSE is designed without the
"center of the universe" paradigm; you only use the parts of DIVERSE that you
need. This approach allows DIVERSE to interact with many other APIs and
toolkits like, OpenGL, OpenSceneGraph, SGI OpenGL Performer, VTK and Coin.

Scientific Applications and Visualization Group, NIST
Introduction and Overview of DIVERSE
2 - Steve Satterfield

Continuation of the concrete research at NIST, using OpenGL shaders
to better see "focus and context" in the visualization including a
laptop demo
