Essentially the object is made up of Open Technology (CDOT) provides a physical mesh of flat triangles and virtual environment for a 2D texture graphic that is applied over the development mesh to give it its colour and research of open source software through collaboration with Senecadepth. However, this is not the open source community, business, and other institutionsonly way to represent 3D graphics. The centre Another method for representing 3D graphics is that of a point cloud which is an integration a set of coloured points in 3D space. While a point for knowledgecloud is usually larger than a textured mesh in terms of amount of data, it provides a level of realism not found in a mesh. Furthermore, some 3D scanning equipment such as 3D scanners, LiDAR equipment, educationmedical scanners, and relationships within the open source worldMicroSoft's Kinect all deliver their data as point clouds.

The Centre's virtual presence starts hereXB PointStream provides a framework to simplify the streaming and rendering of point clouds allowing them to be rendered in a web page without any plug-ins. WebGL, a JavaScript API based on Open GL ES 2.0 enables the creation of 3D content in the web browser without any plugins. It is currently implemented in release version of Firefox and Chrome and includes [[Irc|IRC]] development versions of Safari and our [http://zenitOpera. To support the creation of 3D content many web libraries have been written.senecac However, most of these libraries are based on textured meshes. XB PointStream is different from these other libraries in that it focuses onpoint clouds.ca/~chris It is highly customizable to adapt to different file formats and provides support for addition of customizable shaders.tyler</planet/ blog planet].div>

Current browsers that support WebGL are Firefox 4.0+ and current release of Chrome. Development versions of Safari and Opera also support WebGL. If your video card is really old or does not meet standards, your browser may also have problems supporting WebGL. [http://www.doesmybrowsersupportwebgl.com/ Click here to test your browser].
