URSYS originated in learning science research into embodied learning from 2013 to date. The requirements were LAN-based operation, realtime graphics, simulation, video, and motion tracking served from a single laptop to multiple tablet and Chromebook-type devices in a guided classroom environment. This repository is a modular rebuild of many of the key features of the original libraries into "building blocks" that hide the difficult parts of asynchronous lifecycle-driven programming in a distributed network environment.
