Configuration of VR Juggler and the CAVElib™ software is very different. The differences are too numerous to list here, but we give a brief overview and a pointer to the documentation that explains configuration of VR Juggler.
All configurable parameters go in a single file called .caverc. The configuration mechanism is proprietary and not usable by external VR system software. In particular, VR Juggler cannot get its configuration information from an existing .caverc file.
Configuration of VR Juggler is much more powerful and flexible than what is used by the CAVElib™ software. As a result, it is also more complex. All configurable parameters could be in one or more files with any names desired. VR Juggler comes with example configuration files that may be found in the directory $VJ_BASE_DIR/share/vrjuggler/data/configFiles.
The VR Juggler configuration system is completely extensible and could be used outside of VR Juggler. Indeed, it could be used outside of any VR paradigm altogether. Refer to the Configuration Guide for more information on configuring VR Juggler.
