It's complete. It's a part of Win95. It's an interface so a companies custom 3D engine can hook into it, and it hooks into the cards hardware. It's a driver interface- Reality Lab is a full 3D API, but for starting games from scratch. The vast majority of games will be running slightly modified versions of their engine to hook into 3D DDI rather than re-doing the entire game in a new API.
