Some examples of what can be created:

Animated images and panoramas

ImmerVision PURE Player PRO for Java allows the generation of projected animated images equivalent to flat panoramas with a management of transparency, and also entirely animated panoramas.

In the following example you will find dozens of simultaneously animated butterflies within the same panorama!

Management of bitmap masks

ImmerVision PURE Player PRO for Java offers the ability to associate bitmap masks to any image or panorama.

In the following image, the mask allows you to define transparency zones between many layers.

You can imagine all the other interactions possible between different objects in a scene.

Management of multiple layers

ImmerVision PURE Player PRO for Java allows the management of an unlimited number of layers.

It is possible to manage the display order and layering of the different objects and even simulate 3D environments.

Lighting effects

The Lens Flares effects (ImmerVision innovation), already well known and appreciated for the immersion impression that they produce, have been greatly improved.

In the following example, a transparent panorama is added as the last layer and a Lens Flare is applied to this panorama.

When a butterfly moves through the sunrays the effect is realistic and stunning.

The Lens Flares are completely customisable.

Scripting : evolved script language for those who want to do more!

Thanks to its evolved language, ImmerVision PURE Player PRO for Java offers infinite possibilities.

In the following example, the creation of butterflies is realised in a completely random way: the script creates all the butterflies from an image bank and positions them on different pre-defined zones from which they fly away and come back to land.

The script also randomly creates the totality of the movements and routes; all objects are completely independent from each other. In this example you will notice that each hotspot is assigned to a butterfly and becomes active at any time (when butterfly lands). When the pointer moves over it, it triggers the take off of the butterfly.

This language is intuitive and well documented in the downloadable kits. (Variables, arrays, iteration tests, mathematical functions, etc.).

Examples from the next scene:

Communication

With PURE Player PRO for Java it is simple to exchange information back and forth and therefore interact with different web page components.

In the following example, the script launches a Java script command that, depending on the browser used, will trigger background music and use the appropriate player.

In addition, sounds can also be managed directly by the PURE Player PRO.

Totally customisable and independent interface

Finally, an end to trendy or simply skinable interfaces! PURE Player PRO for Java opens a universe of possibilities for the artist’s creativity.

Imagine buttons and dialog boxes totally independent from each other, even movable and resizable!

In the following panorama example, the user can move the interface freely.

The interaction possibilities are endless.

For the final note, FULLSCREEN in Java!

The efficiency of the 3D projection algorithms from ImmerVision and the optimized management of memory make it the only Java possibility on the market that allows the visualization of high resolution panoramas in FULLSCREEN.

(Compatible since Java 1.1).
