Of course there have been many updates meanwhile and VTP has developed a lot over time.
Description:
------------
The goal of VTP is to foster the creation of tools for easily
constructing any part of the real world in interactive, 3D digital form.
This goal will require a synergetic convergence of the fields of
CAD, GIS, visual simulation, surveying and remote sensing.
VTP gathers information and tracks progress in areas such as
procedural scene construction, feature extraction, and rendering
algorithms.
VTP writes and supports a set of software tools (VTP Toolbox) and an
interactive runtime environment (VTP Enviro).
