VOS is really a stack of software technologies, which may be accessed at any level, but which combine to form a complete platform for collaborative software:
1. VOS Infrastructure Protocol (VIP) - A sophisticated reliable transport protocol based on UDP, permitting multiple prioritized channels of information to be transferred in parallel over a single logical connection.
2. Virtual Object System (VOS) - The core library, providing an object-oriented programming interface to describe, relate and and manipulate information over the network.
3. For 3D virtual environment applications, Abstract 3D Layer (A3DL) - A standard set of extensions on top of VOS for representing 3D data, such as meshes, lights and materials.
4. For 3D virtual environment applications, Crystal Space VOS Plugin (CSVOSA3DL) - A plugin to the Crystal Space 3D Engine which simplifies loading scene described using A3DL into the CS engine.
5. Ter'Angreal - Our biggest end-user application, built using all the technologies described above (and a few others).
