HECTOR - scripting-based VR system design

Abstract: Modern VR systems embrace the idea of scripting interfaces for rapid prototyping of applications. HECTOR goes one step further: the entire core of the VR system is written in PYTHON, easily gluing interchangeable high-performance C++ libraries, a module-based system infrastructure and a scripting-based application layer. Thus, the time consuming and error prone compile-debug cycle for application and system development becomes obsolete -- both, the infrastructure and the application layer, can be extended or modified even at run-time.
