If you are a VRML developer and have used VRML
for applications such as manufacturing (e.g. CAD),
product development, or content development for
electronic commerce Web sites, we would welcome
your participation in the evaluation of a new product
from Cybelius Software which adds behavior and
functionality to 3D VRML product models. With Cybelius's Authorizer, you can add functional
components from a component library that comes with
Authorizer to your own 3D VRML models. Your 3D VRML
models can then be put on a Web server and viewed on
your company's intranet, or over the Internet with
browsers using VRML plug-ins. Functional VRML product models are being developed
for:
* Demonstrations of products as virtual 3D objects
instead of photographs in electronic commerce sites
or other marketing areas
* Rapid development and testing of alternative product
designs
* Design of man to machine user interfaces If you believe this application would be useful
to you, and you meet the requirements below,
please sign up at BetaSphere's Web site (details
below). We will follow-up on your selection status within
the next two weeks. PRODUCT INFORMATION
Authorizer provides the basic tools for making
functional 3D VRML models. It includes a component
editor of ready-made functional components for
a wide variety of applications, as well as a component
editor to construct your own smart components. Feature highlights include: * Import and export of VRML 2.0 / 97 models.
* Support for handling multiple models at the same time.
* Viewing of VRML models in a 3D Viewer.
* Support for handling complex functional components.
* Creation of functional components.
* Support for including VRML geometry into user made
functional components
* Library of ready-made functional and non-functional
components TARGET USERS
* Developers with VRML experience
* CAD designers involved in manufacturing, product
development, or electronic commerce Web site
content development
* Developers familiar with Java or Javascript PROGRAM TIME-FRAME
* The early access program is expected to run
for six weeks with an approximate, starting
