1.1 - The Protocol-Independent API

With VR-Link's protocol-independent API, you can simulate local entities, set their state, and automatically send entity information to other applications over a network using Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) or the High-Level Architecture (HLA) Run-Time Infrastructure (RTI).

VR-Link also simplifies receiving and processing information from other applications, providing easy access to the state of remote entities. VR-Link handles dead reckoning, thresholding, responding to attribute requests, filtering, and many other tasks.

Because VR-Link supports both DIS and HLA through very similar APIs, you can often switch your applications between the two by changing just a few lines of initialization code, and recompiling. This means that your VR-Link-based applications can maintain the DIS compliance vital to ongoing projects, while migrating to HLA.

VR-Link implements all DIS PDUs and you can add support for user-defined PDUs.
