Many of the research projects underway at the VACLab include the development of new software. At times, certain software components or applications might seem useful to the broader community. In these cases, the VACLab often releases those software assets to the public as open-source software.
Below you’ll find a list of what the VACLab has shared so far. Note that all software is release “as is” with no promise of reliability, correct functionality, or future maintenance. Moreover, documentation is often limited or non-existent. Unfortunately, the VACLab is unable to offer technical support.
