VESS currently requires either OpenGL Performer 3.2.1 or better, or Open Scene Graph 1.0.0 from www.openscenegraph.org, the OpenAL software library for audio support, and the ffmpeg library for video support (since ffmpeg requires the mingw compiler under Windows, we have included a compiled version for Windows at the bottom of this web page).

• SGI OpenGL Performer

• Open Scene Graph

• OpenAL

The PHANToM server (for Red Hat 7.2 or Windows) used by VESS can be downloaded here. It requires the GHOST SDK available from Sensable Technologies.
The ffmpeg compiled library for Windows can be downloaded here and the original source (from the ffmpeg web site) can be downloaded here.
