Clinton Clock : Mixing 3d Computer Graphics with real time animation using Java

Three types of Java animation give life ( interactive animation anyway ) to 3d models.

Clinton covers his eyes sometimes, sometimes his groin, he always tells you the time.

Comercial 3d models move dramaticaly, autonomously and under your control.

Multiple animation techniques breath life in to models : they spin and rotate in 3 dimensions, and tell you the time ( using 2d image rotation ).

Add the extra dimesions of movement ( 2 and 3d rotations ) and interactivity so your models dramatically rise above the cluttered landscape.

Not canned animation but real time imaging and image processing create an intriguing analog clock with moving parts.

On the bottom of the rotating imaging cube is the bottom of a box of Kodak film.

Does Kodak 's web site have comparable animation ?   ( a local company that does chemical based imaging )

Showcases the power of Java, modern CPU's, interactive web technologies, and 3d modeling.
