ViSTA VR Toolkit

This is a fork of the ViSTA VR Toolkit specifically tailored to be used as a dependency of CosmoScout VR. Originally, ViSTA has been developed at the RWTH Aachen. This fork is is based on the feature/IMAGES_AND_VIEWPORTS branch of the original repository.

ViSTA is open source under the LGPL (see LICENSE and LICENSE.LESSER). As this fork is used as dependency of CosmoScout VR, it should be built as part of CosmoScout's build process. However, you can also built ViSTA separately - see the BUILDINFO files for details.

To contact the developers, mail to cosmoscout@dlr.de or chat on gitter.
