 # :card_index_dividers: RWTH VR Toolkit
 The **RWTH VR Toolkit** are a collection of extensions of the VR-Group at the RWTH which are used in many of our applications.
 The contents of this plugin are constantly extended and improved to reflect changes in the Unreal nDisplay Plugin that we use to support our aixCAVE with Unreal.
