Reality Studio

This application is designed for ease of use, and requires no special programming or expertise. Reality Studio uses small files that load progressively. Even visitors with low-bandwidth connections can begin interacting immediately and experience the full impact of your site. Reality Studio's Java applet loads automatically to let you view 3-D scenes, objects, panoramas, and other single-media images, and plug-in viewers give you the full impact of mixed-media images. The Flashpix Photoshop plug-in makes it easy to acquire, edit, and save Flashpix images using Adobe Photoshop.

Reality Studio includes MGI PhotoVista software, letting you use photos from just about any source and stitch them effortlessly into multiresolution, 360-degree Flashpix panoramas for viewing or printing. The Object Modeler lets you create 3-D image objects that visitors can rotate and examine closely from any angle. You can create hotspots that link to HTML pages, and add sound effects, animation, or movies to your Web site. Reality Studio supports AVI, JPEG, WAV, animated GIFs, and QuickTime files.

The Image Server enables you distribute images, panoramas, and 3-D objects over the Web, and allows a single user to post and view Reality Studio content on his or her Web site. Use the Project Manager tool to keep track of all your panoramas and their elements. The World Map tracks links between scenes from a bird's-eye view. The intuitive interface also has integrated view ports and libraries for organizing image-based objects, 3-D objects (including IVR, VRML, and WRL files), Flashpix images, and other multimedia files.
