3D Images. Some of the most advanced multimedia technolgies in use provide full 3D imaging power. With a 3D image of an object on-line, you can rotate and view it in all directions. A 3D panaoramic view can show an outside scene, or the inside of a car, as used on the BMW site to demonstrate the interior of their new models. One of the most important 3D file standards for multimedia viewing is QuickTime VR, from Apple. As with video files, 3D image files can be large. Dreambodies can help you with photographic setup to produce 3D images with conventional or digital photography. We can also construct animations and rendered 3D images from your specifications. Virtual Reality. Virtual reality is one of the most exciting developments on the Web. It provides a 3D environment to navigate when viewed with a monitor, and an immersive 3D experience when viewed with 3D goggles. However, because of the great demands virtual reality places on users' hardware and Internet bandwidth, it has yet to realize its full potential. Within the next year or two, VR will become more common, with ever faster computers and widely available fast net connections as through cable TV. VRML, for Virtual Reality Markup Language, is a one of the most prominent standards for providing VR content through the Web. |
