    (The Eurographics Association, 2023) Howard, Toby; Hubbold, Roger; Murta, Alan; José Carlos Teixeira; Werner Hansmann; Michael B. McGrath
    This paper describes some experiences with the use of the MAVERIK system for supporting undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and research. MAVERIK is a high-level system for creating and managing interactive virtual environments. lt is available free under the GNU General Public Licence. MAVERIK is modular and extensible, and its use of Mesa, the free OpenGL-like graphics system, means that it can be run on low- cost PCs, making it especially suitable for use in computer graphics and visualization education. We discuss the novel architecture and main features of MAVERIK, and illustrate its use by presenting case studies of projects udertaken by our students.
