    <h1>Introduction</h1>

    <p>peekabot is a versatile 3D visualization tool targeted at robotics researchers
    and developers. It's multi-platform, general purpose, easily extendable, scalable, 
    free as in free speech and does not depend on any other frameworks to function. 
    It also provides some functionality for interacting with your robots using the GUI.</p>

    <p>Testing your algorithms in both
    simulated and real environments? No problem, with peekabot you get the same visualization
    at no extra charge. Our only requirement is that the device can talk TCP/IP.</p>
