| more than 3 million programmers worldwide are creating
| great software using Java technology.
|
| Programs written with it can
| run on just about any device.
|
| If you've ever created a program using Java technology,
| we'd like to hear from you.
|
| If you need help, Sun Microsystems provides resources
| that help both beginning and experienced programmers
| alike create great Java programs.
|
| In addition, Sun also offers resources and services
| to help get the programs you've created out into the world.

| Mars Exploration Rover
| ----------------------
| With the help of Java Technology,
| and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL),
| scientists can specify activities for the Mars Rover
| all the way from planet Earth. Using the Web Interface
| for Telescience (WITS), scientists specify where the Rover
| should take pictures, what data to gather, and where to travel.
|
| Take a virtual test drive of the Mars Rover using WITS.

| I wanted to supply another example of some real world
| innovative work being done in Java3D.
|
| I get the impression that there is ALOT of good Java3D work
| is going on, but that it is not visible.
|
| So I give to you:

| Mars Exploration Mission : Eventscope
| ] -------------------------------------
| http://www.eventscope.org
|
| It is a Java3D based 3d planetary exploration system
| for science education.
|
| I was hired to make their system run FAST. ...
|
| I personally believe that Java3D will have a bright future
| because it allows both a high level and reasonably low level
| approach to computer graphics.
|
| Thus performance issues can be approached from both angles.
| AND Java3D benefits from all the other Java pros, including
| GUI development, etc. This should not be overlooked.
|
| I have seen countless companies spend HUNDREDS of thousands
| of dollars RE-INVENTING the wheel trying to make things that
| Java3D an Java already do quite well.

| "The use of computer graphics in user

| Graphical description languages are either
| to low-level ( OpenGL ) or lack the
| expressiveness ( VRML ) needed for use in
| user interfaces. ...
|
| We have shown on the Java that platform
| that is possible to create executable
| 3D visualizations which animates robots
| exported as static geometry objects from
| an object library ... The resulting
| visualization is packaged as a software
| component and is directly executable in
|
| a __ Microsoft _ environment ...
| a __ Java ____ environment and
| a __ browser __ environment ...
|
| Java ... has the additional advantage of
| being free ...
|
| This makes it possible to freely create and
| distribute computer graphics in the for of
| Java software components ... the portability
| and scalability of the Java 2 platform ...
| have unique benefits, which should be of
| great value ....

| 3.4.2 Language Choice
| -----------------------
| The presented method was first implemented in Javascript ...
| However, depending on the amount and type of calculation
| to be performed, this interpreted language only allows to
| obtain a low frame rate. It is powerful enough for performing
| classical joint junctions ( elbow, knee ), but as soon as
| the torso is included in the computation, the frame rate
| decreases drastically down to an unacceptable level
| ( less than one frame per second ). ...
|
| For all these reasons we switched to Java ...
| It offers the needed power of a compiled language
| for performing this kind of calculation.
