"Indie" game engines vs De-Facto 3D game engines

"Indie" game engines do not have the stability/past performance record to achieve the required stability for professional applications. Factors of security, functionality, re-usability. tutorials, user knowledge has been acquired and built for over 10 years. Why try to invent the wheel; just find new ways to use it, is the challange now. Costs; we can provide a be-spoke VW using web.alive from £25K and can host for around £1K/Month for 20 peak port users. Why bother to create your own? see http:… Continue

Immersive Environments using Web.Alive

There are game engines, originally created for development of computer/video games, which can be used for non-game virtual worlds. Unreal Engine (UE) by Epic Games ( http://www.unrealtechnology.com ) is probably the strongest, robust and most popular. UE is a complete 3D development framework for PCs, Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3, providing a vast array of core technologies, content creation tools, and support infrastructure. Main features of the Unrea… Continue

Forward to Tele3DWorld Immersion.

Forward to Tele3DWorld Immersion. As prices of computing hardware falls and software standardization and reusability becomes common place, like the computers of yesterday, the tele-immersive systems of today will also become available to the general public. Along with this is expected to become a powerful drive into tele-immersive application development in all applicable areas. There also exists the possibility for future application of tele-immersion in some new areas like Music Synthesis, Psy… Continue

New Media: are the Virtual Real Worlds the New Media?

What is the definition of New Media. Surely Web2.0 is now old media. The new media will be immersive 3D environments; using the technology developed by the CGI, gaming, and film industries will be the future media. We need to start preparing for this rather than the 2D text, images and flashy flashy web sites with no content; just a front office metaphor. I believe we should start planning now for the future revolution; we are at the beginning of a wave of change that will completely change… Continue

Relive Rome™: Walk in the footsteps of Marcus Vitruvius.

Until now, you could visit Rome and “do as the Romans do”, with Relive Rome™ you will also be able to “do what the Romans did and experience in a virtual environment what Romans experienced in 200AD”. What was it really like to live in the ancient Rome; Caput Mundi was the center of the world, with its mad emperors, brutal entertainment and its seductive lifestyles? Through Relive Rome™, it is expected that 10 million people a year worldwide will experience the city’s past, tele-immersed in th… Continue

Titanic Virtually Unreal

Titanic Virtually Unreal I’ve just been given a demo of a Virtual Space by Joe Rigby of Mellanium Studios, where they’ve created a live scale replica of the Titanic using the Unreal 2 engine and roughly 850,000 polygons. It’s quite impressive. Check it out, more info after the Video. Mellanium looks to be creating Serious games, and focused on education based games, and their work seems to be really good. They claim to be able to put roughl… Continue

MellaniuM to create Virtual Real Worlds for Autistic Research.

MellaniuM to create Virtual Real Worlds for Autistic Research. Virtual Real Worlds are to be used to simulate new 3D environments for people in the autistic spectrum. For people with autism, VRWs are way of setting up realistic social situations that might be encountered in their everyday lives. For people who have social, emotional, communicational problems VRWs can enable them to familiarise with a simulated situational environment before actually experiencing in real life. MellaniuM design… Continue

MellaniuM to conduct feasibility on 5 Axis Hand-Held Controller.

MellaniuM to conduct feasibility on 5 Axis Hand-Held Controller. Any computer user will tell you just how important it is to use a good controller while experiencing Virtual Real Worlds. While keyboards or two-button mice are sufficient for environments that contain minimal control options, the advent of first-person perspective environments has forced users to look for user friendly options. The 5 Axis controller is the solution to all such problems. Initially it doesn't look very different f… Continue

MELLANIUM: VIRTUAL ARCHITECTURE

Architecture, in the main, is a collaborative process where engaged people need to share principles, concepts, impressions, designs and commitment. Architects have toiled relentlessly to render their vision to meld form and function but drawings, models and blueprints are poor substitutes for a real sense of "being there". Do you think they have ever dreamt that they could project themselves and their clients, builders, developers and inspirational colleagues into a replica of a “virtually perfe… Continue

PHP Versus Dot Net

PHP Versus Dot Net
By Nitin Tripathi

One of the most confusing decisions that IT policy makers of companies come across is which way to go .NET or PHP. Both have their merits and limitations. Deciding one is entirely dependant upon your budget, technical skills, requirements and your overall corporate methodology.

PHP is the most popular open source programming language used to build web-sites that rely upon dynamic content. PHP is free and so are almost all of its supporting tools, platforms,… Continue
