IKM Interactive has been developing software for virtual environments since 1995; our focus is on the following:

  • Interactive environments: objects react to keystrokes and mouse clicks. The virtual environments process a stack-based programming language, allowing behaviors to be arbitrarily complex.
  • Cross-Platform Support: our software is available for x86 Linux, Sun Solaris, and Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME. Earlier versions were also avalable for SGI Irix, and we are currently working on releases for Apple Macintosh and a platform games console.
  • Multi-User: using a client/server approach, our software allows multiple users to share and interact in a virtual environment.
  • Distributed Networking: virtual environments are scalable, with transparent handoff between servers removing the "portal" based approach found with many other VR applications.

Our "Axis" software implements a combined client and server, and is available free of charge. The current version, 1.31, is a beta release.
