[JAVA3D] setHeadIndex

Hey--   I am finally getting good values out my head tracker using the JavaComm API to read the serial port--   However, I am not sure what form the data must be in in order to use setHeadIndex() --from previous emails you will note that this is the correct way to use head tracking with the

Re: [JAVA3D] 3D 'flicker' glasses -- is this the way to do it??

Karl- Check my previous posts. I included an example application called BasicRecipeJ3D.java + DisparityBehavior.java, The answers to your questions are: 1) Yes. Just add some lines related to stereo--again in a previous post by yours truly. Don't forgot to include the command line options fo

[JAVA3D] Future of Java Media

Hello--   I have heard from reliable sources that the Java Media APIs are dramatically cutting back and RIFing many talented people. At first this would seem really bad but in thinking about it I know that much opportunity comes out of these situations.   Two things I would like to see discu

[JAVA3D] Recipe for using an HMD

Hello again--   In my efforts to use Java3D on as many display devices as I can find in my lab, I have now moved on to our HMD.  Let's leave head tracking out of this discussion and just focus on getting the signals out to the device--a Virtual Research V8--   The HMD has two VGA inputs (one

Re: [JAVA3D] DisparityBehavior

Sorry-- I forgot to include those. Forget about FastrakInputDevice--just comment out all references. I am including NavigationBehavior.java in this email. Use the space bar to increase disparity and the backspace key to reduce it. Alex - Original Message - From: "ping" <[EMAIL PROTECT

[JAVA3D] Stereo

I found the stereo setup to be rather straightforward, once I found a graphics card that Java3D supports in stereo mode. I am assuming we are talking about the Windows environment with shutterglasses. Always test your setup outside of Java3D if possible to verify it is working. The issues were:

[JAVA3D] Wildcat II 5110 works with stereo

Hi-   I just wanted to report that I have stereo working with the WildcatII 5110. The card costs $2200 which is approximately double the price of the computer I am running it on but it is quite nice.   Alex

[JAVA3D] What's the beauty of Interpolators?

I occasionally wonder why the Interpolator class with an Alpha object is necessary. Could everything be done in a Behavior that wakes up on elapsedtime--or is that the point? Does the Alpha object provide denser and courser time values depending of the rate of increase of the f(t)? For example,

[JAVA3D] Texture Mapping and Loaders

I sent out a message a little while ago regarding how to apply textures to Shape3D's obtained from a Loader.  So far, I haven't gotten much response although I realize that people were distracted last week.   Here is my basic question:   How can I use texture mapping with Shape3D's imported

Re: [JAVA3D] Adding texture coordinates to existing geometry

I made the changes that Suri suggested. He is correct that I didn't have the correct number of texture coordinates specified. However, this still did not correct the problem because there are no texture coordinates to change. I don't believe it is possible to add texture coordinates on the fly.

[JAVA3D] Possible bug in Box class

Hi- If I specify capability bits in the Box constructor, I lose the effects of the Appearance. For example, when I construct a Box with Box box = new Box(.3f,.3f,.3f, Box.ENABLE_GEOMETRY_PICKING,ap0); The box has no Appearance. When I do: Box redbox = new Box(.3f,.3f,.3f, ap0); I se

One other not very sophisticated method is too translate the object to some place far away or behind the view. Alex. - Original Message - From: "Dola Woolfe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2001 10:31 PM Subject: [JAVA3D] Turning objects on and off:

Re: [JAVA3D] remove a shape3D object among many

One quick and dirty way to "remove" objects is to simply translate them out of view. Does this offend any purists out there? Other that lack of elegance, are there any disadvantages to this? Alex === To unsubscribe, send

[JAVA3D] Caves and Java3D, still going.

I am continuing to develop my Cave and have run into some challenges. I really need to have 3 or more projectors. Multiple PCI cards are not practical with Java3D. As mentioned previously, hardware acceleration is not utilized when any part of the Canvas touches a secondary or tertiary screnn.

[JAVA3D] Caves, Multimonitors and Java3D

I am still attempting to run a Cave from a single PC using 3 PCI cards and Java3D. My PCI cards are VOODOO3 3000s with 16MB on board. I have a comparison machine available with a TNT 2 Ultra AGP card under Windows NT. Also, I am using jdk1.3 and J3D 1.2 for OpenGL. The sample environment is mo

Re: [JAVA3D] 3D Caves and Java3D??

According to my research, Java3D is supposed to work with a Cave and I have had some success with using 3 separate Canvas3Ds, views and view platforms. HOWEVER, please see the below from Kevin Rushforth. I am waiting for a free moment so I can try this out. There is a fairly extensive thread goi

Re: [JAVA3D] ATI Rage Mobility 128 + Win2K

It strikes me that there is a lot of variability in the performance people are getting from different graphics cards on different platforms. I wonder how much of this is related to bus speeds, DMA and other hardware settings on the PC itself. Some of these results may be independent of the graph

Re: [JAVA3D] Cave and Java3D, continued

A week ago, I posted a message about a Cave I am developing for Java3D. Kelvin Chung and Paul Byrne send an example and some documentation that were helpful. I still have a bit of work to do on this but I can see this actually working sometime soon. Here is where I am so far. I am using Windows

[JAVA3D] Java3D and eyetracking

I am writing a Java3D virtual environment for use in brain recordings. A really critical aspect of this experiment is eye tracking. In that past, we have used a dos based system with a data acquisition card. I want to replace it with something that is integrated into my Java3D task. The brain

[JAVA3D] Use of Slider Bars

Hi- I am doing an application where I want to use JSLIDER to control my 3D models. Does anyone have an example of this. I guess this means that I would abandon the rotation interpolators, right? Thanks in advance, Alex Terrazas

[JAVA3D] Inline in VRML

I am having trouble using the VRML loader when my VRML world has an INLINE command. When the I substitute the same code from the inline'd file directly into the VRML file that I am loading, it works fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks, Alex Terrazas
