Caveat: MAVERIK is not an end-user application. If you are looking for something like a downloadable game to try, you are likely to be disappointed with MAVERIK. If you are developing VR software though, then MAVERIK may by just what you need.

If you have any questions about the distribution, feel free to email us at maverik@aig.cs.man.ac.uk.

Downloading the software

MAVERIK is distributed as two packages:

• The MAVERIK microkernel, supporting modules, documentation and tutorial examples.
• The MAVERIK demo suite, containing more substantial demonstrations. Some of these are quite large, and you really need 3D acceleration hardware to get interactive performance from them. Have a look at the movies in the applications gallery to see how they perform on a PC with acceleration.

Notes

• Use the zip file for compiling with Microsoft Visual C++ and other native Windows compilers.
• Use the tar.gz file for compiling with Cygwin. Also, unpack this file with tar rather than WinZip.
