The 3Space Player is very small (420KB download) and very fast (accelerated
using any Direct3D or OpenGL graphics board). Right now, the interactive
3Space Player 1.0 is available on Windows with Internet Explorer 5.x.
In this version, 3D objects are animated using physics behaviors such
as slipping, bouncing, rotating, physical energy forces, collisions,
links between objects, and so forth. The objects interact with each
other, with the user and with the environment of the HTML browser.
The next version, planned for September 2000, will be available on
Mac, Linux and other proprietary Unix systems with Internet Explorer
5.x or Netscape Navigator.
Uninstalling the 3Space Player from Internet Explorer :
If you have had an opportunity to install an earlier beta pre-release
of the 3Space Player, or if you simply want to clear the viewer out
of the browser, then you may need to go through the following simple
steps:
1) In Internet Explorer 5, select the Tool menu, click the Internet
Options item, then the General tab Within the Temporary Internet files
group, select Settings.
2) Within the Settings window, select View Objects:
3) You will see a window containing a list of objects, such as the
ones listed in the example below. Identify the "3Space player object"
Class in that list. Select it with the left mouse button, then click
the right mouse button to popup a menu that includes a 'Remove' option:
Note that in order for this to work you'll need to make sure you're
not currently on a page that actually makes use of the player.
