Overview

This example shows how to create a simple VR-Vantage application.

Expected Result

Simple Application Result

Example details

There are three required steps.

The first step is to create the DtVrvApplication.

   // A DtVrvApplication wraps up all the components required to build a complete
   // VR-Vantage application (DtDe, DtPluginManager, DtEventLoop, and a
   // DtVrvApplicationConfiguration).
   DtVrvApplication igApp;

Once the application has been created, it must be initialized.

   // This causes the plugin manager to load plugins, cause a Display Configuration
   // to be realized, creates the default environment, etc.
   igApp.initialize(argc, argv);

Finally, the application's main event loop is started.

// Creates an event loop and begins running it, causing the creation of frames.

igApp.run();

Building the Example

VR-Vantage includes pre-built versions of the example application. To build it yourself, follow the instructions at Building VR-Vantage Examples, Applications, and Plug-ins.

Running the Example

This example is an application. You can run it by running ./bin64/exampleSimple.exe (on Windows) or ./bin64/exampleSimple (on Linux). For more information about running examples, please see Running Applications and Examples.
