This paper describes a publicly available virtual reality (VR) system, GNU/MAVERIK, which forms one component of a complete 'VR operating system'. We give an overview of the architecture of MAVERIK, and show how it is designed to use application data in an intelligent way, via a simple, yet powerful, callback mechanism which supports an object-oriented framework of classes, objects and methods. Examples are given which illustrate different uses of the system, and typical performance levels.
