What is AIR?
AIR is an engine designed for 3D interactive environments. It is not meant
to compete with major gaming engines, or provide the latest graphics
technology. It is meant as a framework to build your own graphical
environments, so that your project looks and behaves uniquely. Many
components are provided to get you up and running.

What kind of development environment is AIR?
AIR is built in Object Oriented Pascal, and integrates many OpenSource
components. The use of OOP makes AIR very easy to read, understand, maintain
and manage. This gives AIR an advantage of being able to be utilized for
rapid development by very small teams or even individuals. Environment
support for Delphi with FreePascal support coming soon. Currently runs on
Windows, with upcoming support for Mac and Linux.
