Deep Exploration

Right Hemisphere's Deep Exploration Standard Edition is a software tool that allows the quick production of multimedia 3D graphics. Unlike typical multimedia 3D tools, Deep Exploration Standard Edition is a unified application that works across a number of multimedia formats and 3D graphics styles so it is easy to take advantage of existing content and avoid big changes in file formats. The main operations that Deep Exploration performs includes: (a) translate 2D and 3D graphics and multimedia files, (b) search, view, and markup 3D graphics and (c) author, render, and publish 3D images and animations.

The above screenshot shows a 3D model representing City University’s campus and it was used as part of the LOCUS project. This 3D model (or 3D map) was originally generated in 3D Studio Max and then converted into two different formats used for mobile navigation in personal digital assistants (PDAs). More specific, the 3D map was converted in VRML for the Virtual Navigator interface and to DirectX for the MD3DM VR interface.
