Getting started
Vega Prime is a high-performance software environment and toolkit for real-
time simulation and virtual reality applications. It consists of a graphical user
interface called LynX Prime, Vega Prime libraries, and header files of
C++-callable functions. Vega Prime functionality is extended by additional
special-purpose modules that extend the user interface and supply custom
libraries for code development. You also can develop your own modules that
work with all components of Vega Prime.
