Introduction

• I’m working on developing...– Solar System Simulator and its related products– “Universe” Science Live Show (for 9 years)– Stereoscopic Digital Dome Theater– and more.

• Today’s Keyword : Embedding

GLStereoPlayer (glsp)

• Stereo Movie/Image Viewer

• Supports many movie/image formats,stereo source types and output types.

• One source for many stereoscopic systems.

• Open source, a good start point to implement a movie texture in your 3D engine.

Next step...

Make it be embeddable!!

1. ActiveX – Microsoft’s technology for making an embeddable component in applications, documents and websites.

Example: glsp in PowerPoint

• With a GeoWall system, you can show botha presentation and stereo resources seamlessly.

Partiview (and Embedding)

• As you know, Partiview is highly useful.

• Scientists themselves visualizes data with it.

What happens if it becomes embeddable?

Example: Partiview in PowerPoint

• Demo – how to embed Partiview in this page.

Example: Partiview in PowerPoint

• Powerful and easy to use.

• Encapsulate dataset in your presentation.

• Archive visualizations with documents.

• VBA scriptable.

Embedded Here!!

Example: Partiview in Web Browser

• For making an interactive documents.

• Build your original user interface withusual html, interactions with JavaScript, etc.

• Publish it over the internet as it isto make an interactive visualization web site.

Make it be embeddable!!

1. ActiveX – Microsoft’s technology for making an embeddable component in applications, documents and websites.

2. Xtra – Macromedia Director’s plug-in architecture. This most powerful authoring tool make your contents highly attractive.

Example: Partiview in Director / Xtra

• “Macromedia Director” is a de facto standardauthoring tool for multimedia contents.

• Rich-media contents development, built-in LINGO script language, Shockwave online publishing and wide creator community.

Example: Partiview in Director / Xtra

Director / Xtra for designing GUIs

Make it be embeddable!!

1. ActiveX – Microsoft’s technology for making an embeddable component in applications, documents and websites.

2. Xtra – Macromedia Director’s plug-in architecture. This most powerful authoring tool make your contents highly attractive.

3. 3DCG Software plug-in – Make full use of its productivity and know-how for designing real-time and pre-rendered scenes.

Example: Partiview in 3DCG Software

• MAYA, 3DSMAX, Lightwave3D and so on.

• Use their Plug-in SDK.

Demo

Example: Partiview in Lightwave3D

Example: Partiview in Lightwave3D

Example: Partiview in Lightwave3D

• Of course, there are lots of skilled creators in 3DCG community.

• Direct way of sharing scientific data with scientists and graphics designers.

• Design a fly path and object animationsfor Partiview’s interactive scene.

• Design a full scene, add any objects you want, then render to a movie.

Conclusion – from other point of view

• Embed in documents– for interactive presentations and archiving

• Embed in web sites– for easy publishing and sharing

• Embed in content development workflow– for productivity and better quality
