3D XE Player

Easily Provide “3D for All” Interactive Experiences

Based on the 3D Office Player, the 3D XE Player extends its capabilities for more specific and complex usages.

The 3D XE Player enables Virtools developers to create richer, more customized applications. All features and building blocks of the 3D Office Player are also available to 3D XE Player developers.

The 3D XE Player Architecture

The 3D XE Player is based on an ActiveX architecture embedded in a custom interface. If you do not wish to develop a whole application on top of the ActiveX control, the standalone player will provide an application that is simple yet directly customizable from the composition defined in Virtools 4.

Customize your Application

The customizable User Interface feature allows for customization of the interface without recompiling the stand-alone player itself. Virtools developers will be able to update menus and toolbars and open dialogs through a simple XML configuration (created directly in the composition with the XML Building Blocks).

3D XE ActiveX control offers a complete API (Application Programming Interface) so that Visual Studio .NET developers can also embed it in their own custom applications in C#, VB or C++.

The 3D XE Player architecture allows the use of custom DLLs created with Virtools SDK for development of more advanced applications. Moreover, the 3D XE Player allows publishing Virtools compositions using the Behavior Libraries (Physics, AI, Multiuser).

Share your Content

The 3D XE Player provides a messaging and communication system using XML files to exchange data and events with the composition in play. Thus, all the experience’s logic is defined in Virtools 4, and the player is only acting as a front-end. The player supports loading and saving of 3DXML files. These files can either define a single product or a PCS package. The 3D XE Player allows you to edit the scene (change positioning of objects or materials, etc.) depending on your usage, and then save the modifications to either a 3D XML or NMO fi le for later use in the player, for maximum simplicity in sharing experiences. The 3D XE ActiveX XML API allows .NET developers to create applications connected to any organization Information System. The 3D XE Player also provides developers with the capability to protect your data with a password, making it possible to secure confidential data.

3D XE Player: the Core Component for your Vertical Specific Applications

The 3D XE Player open-ended architecture makes it possible to support a large variety of industry-specific interfaces and scenarios for 3D interactive user experience.Seamlessly develop and design shopping or driving experiences, design reviews, maintenance and training applications. Moreover, the 3D XE Player .NET integration allows developers to create their own application interface to suit their user interaction needs.
