Run-time reconfiguration in VR Juggler
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most current virtual reality system designs use an overly static method of configuration. The configuration is specified in advance and once an application has started running in the system, it is not possible to change the its initial setup. This limits the abilities of the VR system to adapt to runtime changes and recover from system failures. The VR Juggler virtual reality development environment has been designed from its inception to be dynamic at run-time. VR Juggler allows components to be configured and replaced at run-time while allowing applications to execute transparently. This paper presents the motivation for the need for run-time reconfiguration and describes VR Juggler’s implementation of such a system.

متن کاملParallelizing Pre-rendering Computations on a Net Juggler PC Cluster
Net Juggler, an open source library developed at LIFO, turns a commodity component cluster running the VR Juggler platform on each node into a single VR Juggler image cluster. Net Juggler parallelizes rendering computations for immersive projection environments but pre-rendering computations are redundant. In this paper, we present how a classical parallelization of the pre-rendering computatio...
