Sean did his work in SARA's CAVE, while visiting the University of Amsterdam
last year. Robert Belleman of the UVA and I were also involved in this
project. What we did was, take Volumizer, Sean's svr library of Volumizer
convenience classes and the 'gui' I developed for my own (not Volumizer based)
volume rendering CAVE app, and from this build a Volumizer CAVE app.
What kind of problems do you have with C++? The VRCO CAVE-library may be
written in C, but is works fine with C++ programs (both OpenGL and Performer
based). As you can gather from the previous paragraph, Sean's implementation
is also completely written in C++ and works fine in our CAVE.
Cheers,
