3D Life Player

Easily Provide “3D for All” Interactive Experiences

 

Almost all new manufactured products today are created digitally. The PLM/DCC solutions are enabling engineers and designers to imagine new products and test their physical constraints through simulations. However, interactive experience of virtual products in context is a rather new approach focussing on the consumer/user experience rather than on the product itself, with great benefits for product innovation and marketing in terms of quality, ergonomics studies, product appeal, customer customisation, etc.

In the context of 3D for All strategy, the next step is to add interactivity not only to CAD products. Thus, the user will not be restricted to view the 3D products, he will also be able to interact with it, to “experience” it. The 3D Life Player, the 3D Office Player and the 3D XE Player provide easy access to attractive, highly interactive content created with the Virtools platform through internet and corporate intranets.

User-Friendly, Quick Installation


One click is all that a user needs to do to install the 3D Life Player to experience rich, visually impressive rich interactivity. Installation is quick and additional components are automatically installed as and when needed. Once installed, the 3D Life Player updates itself automatically whenever updates are available, ensuring that the user can take advantage of the latest and greatest features available within Virtools technology.

High Quality Visuals With Rich Interactivity

The 3D Life Player plays content created with Virtools platform: not only are the high-quality graphics found in cutting-edge 3D games now possible on the web, but the advanced behavioral interactivity found in best sellers can also be created. Game-like interactivity, the very best immersive experience, is here thanks to Virtools behavior technology and support for stunning visual effects. Provide your users with real experiences in Multimedia/Marketing, Simulations and Entertainment simply and effectively over the web.

Integration In Existing Web Environments

Adding content for the 3D Life Player into standard web pages is a simple task. And you can enhance your content with JavaScript or VBScript interactivity by sending and receiving data between the HTML page and the content. Finally, HTML user interfaces and rich interactivity can be seamlessly merged.

Multiuser Server

The 3D Life Player is fully compatible with the Multiuser Server, which improves the user experience by enabling multiuser applications, loading content in stages, putting an end to the ‘world wide wait’ and starting the user experience immediately. Advanced personalized shared experiences become possible by dynamically streaming content depending on the user’s interaction. A specific Web Publishing capability enables you to extend the 3D Life Player standard capabilities and to run your custom components.
