The TGS 3Space technology enables you to create, describe, transfer
and play compact and dynamic 3D scenes in which objects and text have
animated behaviors linked to user and system events. 3Space adds unlimited
effects to your HTML pages and becomes a new media type for the web in
addition to text, images, Animated GIFs, Java applets, Flash effects
The 3Space technology is based on several components:
The ZAP file format that describes the
3D geometry in an extremely compact manner is based on the construction
history of the 3D objects, recording only key data which is used by
the player to reconstruct the full 3D object.
The 3Space Document is an XML-based description
of the 3D interactive scene in which each geometric object refers to
a ZAP file. Each object's behavior is described through realistic physical
effects, linked to timers and user actions.
The 3Space media player is a Web browser
plug-in that can read 3Space documents, reconstruct 3D scenes, and play
animations and behaviors while managing user interactions.
The 3Space authoring tools create the dynamic
3D media content - both the geometry and behavior.
TGS provides services for creating 3D content and integrating it into
a customer's site. TGS can also license the 3Space Player to corporate,
ISP or OEM companies that may want to distribute the technology.
