While the OrbitView visualizations were useful in their own right, we realized they needed to evolve to meet users' expectations. However, we quickly found that the OrbitView code was developed using basic computer graphics concepts and would be very difficult to enhance. So instead, we decided to start from scratch.
Four years and several SBIR contracts later, **we are pleased to offer the GMAT community the OpenFramesInterface (OFI) visualization plugin!** The **OFI** plugin allows you to visualize GMAT missions using interactive 3D graphics that are high-performance, customizable, and easy to use. OFI is developed as a replacement for OrbitView, so it provides greater functionality and performance while retaining a similar GUI and script format. You will be able to easily use the OpenFramesInterface regardless of your comfort level with OrbitView!

* View any GMAT mission in Virtual Reality using headsets such as the Oculus Rift
or HTC Vive. VR provides information about nonplanar trajectories that is difficult to glean on a traditional monitor.
## OpenFramesInterface Uses
The **OFI** can be used for all GMAT-based mission visualizations, including anything you can do with OrbitView and much more! For examples see the [OpenFramesInterface Uses](OpenFramesInterface Examples) page.
## Getting the OpenFramesInterface
See the [Downloads](Downloads) page for info on obtaining the OpenFramesInterface.
