From: Helmuth Trefftz Subject: Re: MISC: virtual places Date: Fri, 11 Jul 1997 09:14:13 +0500 Message-ID: Julieta Maria, Have you considered VRML? The advantage is that you can navigate VRML worlds with normal www browsers or with public domain tools that you could include with your CD. The disadvantage is that the worlds are quite static (VRML 1.0). At EAFIT (Medellin, Colombia) we user WorldToolkit (by Sense8). The advantage is that you can create applications in which objects of the world responde to events. WorldToolkit also has drivers for some head mounted displays and gloves, in case some of your users have such devices. You would have to talk to Sense8 about distributing you application, though. You could also consider Virtus and other not so sophisticated tools. You can also contact Pablo Figueroa, at Universidad de Los Andes. He has done some work on Virtual Walkthroughs. It would be great if the three of us could share experiences... Hasta pronto! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Helmuth Trefftz Gomez (MSc.)
