The ARéVi platform
ARéVi, or Atelier de Réalité Virtuelle ( Virtual Reality Toolkit) is a C++ library for for the simulation of autonomous entities and 3D rendering. The platforms aims to facilitate the creation of virtual reality applications by providing a tool set, to which a set of additional plugins can be added.
- Means to give the entities some activities, scheduling and inter-entities communication
- User interaction
- 3D rendering
ARéVi was initially developed by Fabrice Harrouet and a few CERV members. Il is now used daily by the CERV researchers (sometimes in collaboration with companies), and some ENIB students.
The platform has been used in various projects: Gaspar, a simulation of the human activities on an aircraft carrier, TramIt, a 2008 study of Brest’s future tramway, …. Another platform, MASCARET, was also built using ARéVi.
