MAVERIK is a system under development which is designed to support large-scale industrial and other applications of virtual reality. At the present time it is being used to investigate the development of new CAD interfaces, and for the modelling of buildings with integrated radiosity solutions. It also serves as a testbed for experiments with new algorithms in areas such as navigation of complex environments, 3D manipulation and construction of models, and performance issues such as culling and level-of-detail techniques, customised for different applications. In developing MAVERIK we are also investigating architectural issues for VR software systems for large-scale applications.
