VRML Multimedia
Brook Conner and Tom Meyer suggest in
WAXweb: Toward Dynamic MOO-based VRML
that multi-media (video and audio) nodes should be added to
VRML. I have finished a variant of the
Silicon Graphics Open Inventor (TM)
SoTexture2 node called AnimatedTexture2, which
textures objects with a
MPEG
movie or an NV (network video) MBONE video stream.
Please note that AnimatedTexture2 has only been tested on a few
machines (see install page)
but should
work fine on any machine running Open Inventor with texture
mapping in hardware.
