Dense Image Space

Software platform and components (in progress)

    The software for DIS display has not been developed, and that's one of the primary goals of this project.

    But several elements of what is needed are contained in existing software. Instead of starting from scratch, our approach will be to demonstrate the component functions of DIS display software in a modification of an existing software project, and then further modify that project to suit the particular needs of DIS. At some point it will be given a new name and exist as an independent DIS display platform.
