omegalib is middleware designed to ease the development of applications for virtual reality (VR) and immersive display environments. A C++ and Python API. Applications can be developed as standalone executables in C++ or as scripts in Python. omegalib also supports mixed native / script applications with user-defined C++ modules that can be exposed to Python through a simple declarative interface. omelib’s main features are:

• Support for hybrid systems, presenting high definition 2D and 3D content on the same display
• Display system scalability: omegalib runs on desktop machines, multi-GPU workstations driving tiled displays, and cluster systems like the 36-machine, 72-display CAVE2
• Runtime application switching: applications can be reloaded or swapped without restarting the display system
• Web interface control and pixel streaming to HTML5 clients
• Experimental SAGE integration
• A customizable 2D / 3D widgets library
• Support for a wide range of input peripherals (controllers, motion capture systems, touch surfaces)
• Integration with third party higher level toolkits like Unity, VTK, Open Scene Graph, Qt, etc.
