It visually reflects the state of your system in\nreal-time. With vzual, you can experience your systems through an\ninteractive visualization.\n\n## System\n\nWhat is a \"system\" ... you may be asking? Well this term is\npurposfully abstract because it can be so many different\nthings. Ultimately it is whatever is on the other end of a real-time\ncommunications protocol, conveying changes to a domain-specific data\nmodel. As an example, a system could be:\n\n- a physical system (e.g. a processing plant, a distillation unit, a\n  CNC machine, etc.). You may wish to monitor various sensor readings\n  (ex: see the pressures and flows) or interact with the system (say\n  open/close a valve).\n\n- a microcontroller (MCU/EMCU)\n\n- a playback recording of a physical system (for analysis purposes)\n\n- an IoT home monitor (Internet of Things)\n\n- a dashboard monitoring a system\n\n- an engineering design tool, interfacing components under design,\n  from a simulation of various physical properties (pressures, flows,\n  etc.)\n\n- an interactive game with another person or a computer\n\n- etc.\n\n## Model\n\nA vzual model has the following characteristics:\n\n1. It is manifest through an interactive view, that contains graphical\n   components that are recognizable as part of the system, for example:\n\n   - pumps and valves and pipes\n   - gauges and monitors\n   - an IoT house monitor\n   - an interactive game with various player pieces\n   - etc.\n\n   vzual's graphical IDE allows you to create both components, and\n   scenes that model/visualize components.\n\n2. It is backed by a data schema that will change over time through a\n   communications protocol.\n\n3. This data can be visualized and animated over time, for example:\n\n   - visualizing the flow and pressure of a distillation unit\n   - showing a pump as open or closed\n   - showing house lights as on/off\n   - showing the current position of a game's player piece\n   - etc.\n\n4. It is interactive in the sense that the user can set selected\n   values it is capable of setting various aspects of the system (part\n   of the communication protocol), for example:\n\n   - a valve could be opened or closed through an interactive component\n   - a game piece could be moved\n   - etc.\n\n5. Multiple concurrent views are supported, for example:\n\n   - showing different functional aspects of the same system\n   - etc.\n\n## Tools\n\nThe vzual application provides two primary tools:\n\n- a build tool (a graphical IDE), where you create and orchestrate the\n  components that make up your system model.\n\n- a run-time visualization of the system model, that is both animated\n  and interactive. This can be run stand-alone or embedded in a web\n  page.\n\n\n## Learn More\n\nLearn more at [vzual].\n\n\n\n\u003c!--- Markdown Links ---\u003e \n\n[vzual]:  https://vzual.org\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkevinast%2Fvzual","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkevinast%2Fvzual","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkevinast%2Fvzual/lists"}
