A 3d Virtual World

VRML, which stands for virtual reality markup language, is a technology for animation and 3D modeling that lets you create 3D scenes for websites. A special VRML browser plug in lets you control the viewing of VRML components on web sites. Panoramas are another type of virtual reality component, similar in some ways to VRML in that the user needs a special plug in to view and control the viewing of the panoramic virtual reality component. However, unlike VRML panoramas are made up of a series of photographs stitched together to create one image that you can view entirely as you move your cursor across the image.

Web designers add virtual reality (VR) components to web pages for several reasons, including to make web pages more interesting and interactive, and to display an item in a 3D view.

Some common formats for panoramas include Quick Time VR, VRML2, Black Diamond's Surround Video, and Infinite Pictures SmoothMove.

VRML offers uses for many types of websites, including entertainment, education, computer aided design, product marketing, virtual malls, and much more. Panoramas are useful for these same types of websites, as well as real estate and travel.

VR components offer many advantages to web site designers. They make web sites more interesting and interactive, provide more detail for objects or places than regular flat photos, there is no need for complex programming to add a VR component to your web site , and they generally have cross-platform and cross-browser compatibility. Some disadvantages include requirement of a plug in for viewing, (in many cases), long download time for some web VR components, depending on the file size and type, and the needed skills and creativity for quality output.

Many software programs, such as Caligari's TrueSpace, Micrografx Simply 3D, Silicon Graphics Internet 3D Space Builder, and Platinum Technology's VRCreator learning edition, automatically creat VRML files for you.

Some software options for panorama creation include Apple's Quick Time VR Authoring Studio, Enroute Imaging's QuickStitch 360, Video Brush Corporation's VideoBrush Panorama, Live Picture's Photo Vista, Infinite Picture's Smooth Move, Ulead's Cool 360, and Black Diamond's Surround Video.

Now, go forth and CREATE!

What is reverse engineering?

Often the word reverse creates confusion about general concept of engineering. Basically, it is minute analyzing for making a solid model or 2-D drawing to aid in re-manufacturing. In dictionary, it is a process of studying or analyzing the principles of a device, object or system to further document its structure, function and operation.

The wide range of usages of such application has established the name like ?Applications 3d?. For the common man, it is re-engineering of the old or obsolete machine in an electronic format prior to rebuild, repair or upgrade. There is a misconception that reverse engineering is all about bringing an old part back to life. Though, it builds a launch pad as well for numerous other technical advancements. For instance, development of 3D laser scanning could be possible on the ground of reverse engineering.

Probably, most of us would be aware about the 3D laser scanner. It captures the real world object and environment in intensive way and demonstrates it in 3Dimensional virtual mode. Extensive wide variety of application of 3D laser scanners includes facility management, architecture, heritage restoration, procecess/power/piping, construction, accident reconstruction, surveying, forensics, film/movies, and game development. In practically way, today every industry needs super accurate and high speed 3D reality data generation.

Point clouds use to produce by 3D scanners but can not be directly used. So, we need a process called ?modeling?. It is a converting process of point cloud into usable 3D model. Surface modeling is also an integral part of reverse engineering. It is a mathematical technique. Experts use this technique in demonstrating solid appearing of the object. It is a complex method but not as complex as wireframe modeling and not as sophisticated as solid modeling. 3D animated games and CAD (computer aided design) are favorite areas of surface modeling. Now, let's move towards reverse engineering and have a glimpse of its different stages:

?At first, engineers study & recognize the product and its components, wherever reverse engineering can be used. So, such stage is also known as prescreening potential components.

?Disassembling or observation of informative documents is the next stage after formal introduction. It is the most time consuming stage. It is obvious because eventually under this process, we accumulate all the instructions and technical data about the working of the product.

?Now, engineers verify the perfection in designing work by repeated testing.

?Then, comes the final stage and new products use to introduce in the market.

Thus, reverse engineering is the master process of producing completely new product with the similar function. Interoperability is the key factor behind reverse engineering. Besides that, it uses into recovering lost documentation. It has great importance into product analysis as well.
