  Papervision WiiDget Papervision | (1)

  Papervision keeps getting pushed to new levels. This time, combine it with a Wii remote and a servomotor. Really stunning - not exactly sure for what but it's going to come to someone with as much imagination and talent as Seedylifestyle no doubt. (Source code also provided)

  Papervision Tag Galaxy - Mapping Meaning in 3D Applications and Tools, Papervision, Visualization in 3D | (0)

  Forgotten in the debate about avatars and identity is the idea of 3D space as an intuitive way to conceptualize information. Papervision is increasingly being used to organize concepts, as seen in the now famous White Void application - sure, it's just a spinny looking file folder system, but there's something that just feels right about it - concepts nested in concepts, 3D space, hierarchy of data. Others are pushing the limits as well. Tag Galaxy takes tags from Flickr and maps them as a galaxy of terms. Each planet is a tag - and if you click each planet it ...

  Cathay Pacific: Avatars, 3D Tour, Papervision Papervision | (2)

  Cathay Pacific is showing off it's new airplane cabins on a Web site that combines selecting a stand-in for yourself - male or female, the ability to tour the cabin in 3D, and artful use of Papervision in the interface. The site is remarkably fast to load, immerses you in the environment of the aircraft, and gets down to the level of allowing you to test how the seats maneuver and lights adjust. A flight simulator and an in-board movie allows you to watch trailers for what will be shown on board. Of course - also has you dreaming of first class travel, ...

  Innovation and Papervision, in an Absolut World Applications and Tools, Education in Virtual Worlds, Papervision | (0)

  Another stunning example of where Papervision is taking us, this time with the theme of a world in which "we believe everyone's a visionary"...and that are things that we all will "invent, innovate or just turn upside down". Beautiful execution.

  Papervision Alternative Applications and Tools, Papervision | (1)

  Digado points us to a Papervision-like Flash 3D development project built by a team of Russians at Alternativa 3D. Digado writes that the big advantage of this 3D world is its load time and the "smoothness in animations." The prototype is also a clientless and download-free model. While Papervision is an open source application that allows 3D "environments" in Flash, it's nice to see other efforts to develop a "client-less" 3D app. Although, just because it's 3D doesn't mean it has multiple avatars, but they have an ambitious roadmap as Digado points out. Two more samples of the 3D engine in full ...

  See the Future: Photosynth Tech Demo Now Live Business in Virtual Worlds, Papervision | (9)

  Microsoft's Photosynth wowed them at TED, and now the tech demo is live, letting you play with the same environments (and a few extras) they showed then. Words fail me. It really is an astonishing, brilliant and enriching experience. Forget Papervision for now. Forget Google Virtual Earth. This is a taste of the future. You can almost imagine being able to fly through the environment with an avatar. To drill down through the photos to see who took them. To link them to geotags. To layer a semantic Web on top. For all the talk of the metaverse roadmap, augmented reality, and ...

  Papervision Samples and Resources IV Papervision | (0)

  More good stuff with Papervision...and the more I think about the utility of 3D environments using the Flash platform, the more excited I become...imagine once HTML on a prim hits Second Life if you could be in a virtual world, accessing a 3D space through a 3D object. Hmmm....rabbit holes within rabbit holes. In the meantime, a spherical version of the previous Flickr box I previously posted: Source PaperWorld is an open source project looking to build virtual worlds/multi-user environments on the Papervision platform. It promises the delivery of games such as the following: Video According to the PaperWorld site: PaperWorld3D is an open-source Flash/Java project ...
