Interactive Java

Your browser is not configured to run Java !   What you are not seeing is an interactive program that animates 3d people.

You can make " Nancy "   Run, Walk, and Jump !   She's a Gesturing Avatar,   Click on the Green stripe to make her Run.   Select a new figure from the list and press the "Load" button.   The   Space Monkey   moves and talks when clicked.         Ananova the first Virtual Newscaster ? ! No !   The Space Monkey was made in  1996 ! Is it Magic ?   No, it's H-Anim, VRML & Java.

  Build and Animate H-Anim Avatas is what this program will be able to do, in the near future.

  Now you can Pose H-Anim Avatars with my H-Anim People Poser Web Program

 Human Animation on the web is demonstrated here with the interactive

" ez Avatar Builder " Java program, built with the Shout3d x3d Viewer.



 H-Anim ( a Web3d Standard for _ Human Animation _ on the web will 

 be supported in the near future.



 H-Anim uses VRML ( the 3d " Virtual Reality Markup Language " ) and

 a common set of Joint names so 3d human models can be animated with

 complex behaviors using Object Oriented Programming Languages such

 as Java.



 Previously displaying 3d VRML objects on the required " plug-in " 

viewers and their were numerous problems including the incompatability

between the plug-in viewer and the VRML code, or the plug-in not being

installed.



 X3d / VRML Java Viewers such as Shout3d and Blaxxun3d do _ NOT _ 

require plug-ins and provide for the first time a reliable, portable

solution to displaying 3d content on the web that is interactive & fun

and can be used for games, teaching & learning, commerce and communication.



 3d is alive and well, and growing like never before thanks to x3d and Java.



 x3d Java is portable :  Windows, Macintosh, Be, Linux, EPOC, game machines ...



 Web Interactive 3d : Innovation, excitement, opportunity is here.  Join in.

 " Nancy " Gesturing Avatar ! " H-Anim Mappable " --  (c) Cindy Ballreich



  - Run, Walk, Jump, Stop !  click the colored bar ( green --> run, etc )

-- Shout3d does NOT accept the PROTOs of H-Anim

** PROTOs were removed in my version;

*** -- the program is _ not _ finished ...  x3d is extensible ...





 " Mini Man "  -- the stupid simple one is mine   ;^)



 -- * " quasi - H-Anim Avatar : Joint Nodes as VRML Transform Nodes

 -- to see the H-Anim Joint names : Select " Show Joints ", Press : " Action "

 -- Mini-Man and this program are evolving into fully capabable H-Anim Avatars.



	

  Human Animation on the web   with Motion Capture Data :   Clinical Gait Analysis   3d, interactive
  Play multiple ".mov" videos   with speed control and a quiz ...   Netscape & Windows Required   Sorry !
  People Poser of healthy H-Anim Avatars   a VRML plug-in viewer is requied
