CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, December 5, 1995


The VENUS group at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland is happy to announce
the availability of version 1.1b of i3D, a High-Speed 3D Web browser.


The main nsw features of this release is the support of the Multi-Channel
Option for SGI Onyx RealityEngine and RealityEngine2 workstations as
well as SGI Indigo2 Impact workstations. MCO support makes i3D the
only 3D browser able to provide rich depth cues such as binocular
perception to a large number of participants through video projection and
passive polarized glasses. This feature is being used at CERN during
design meetings where LHC engineers discuss the latest design of LHC
premises and equipment using interactive navigation and stereo rendering.


This release incorporates also a lot of improvements and bug fixes to i3D,
with respect to version 1.0. In particular, i3D now supports OpenGL
multi-sample extension, accepts JPEG and Compuserve GIF images for
texture definition, and offers improved navigation. Unsupported binaries
are available for Silicon Graphics Workstations running Irix 5.3 and having
support for OpenGL rendering. This software is provided free of charge
without warranty of any kind from CERN.
