This is a 32-bit, mouse oriented, interactive 3-dimensional (3-D) data
viewing program for the IBM OS/2 2.x operating system compiled using emx-0.8f.
Future versions will make use of OS/2's mutithread capabilities to render the
use of system facilities more efficient.
It is hoped that this program could be useful to those students,
programmers, scientists, engineers, educators, designers and others, who need
to view three dimensional data one time or another during their work, study or
leisure and who could not justify or are not capable of investing large amount
of their capitals and time in purchasing and learning the multi- $hundreds or
$thousands all purpose commercial 3-D packages. Even for those who are in
possessing of those complete 3-D packages, this program can provide quick
preview of the models used in those packages. Albeit it may not be necessary
for some, the program could also help other students in both high school and
college to visualize more abstract geometric concepts in solid geometry and
calculus. The potential viewer may also find the simple beauty of some of the
3-D structure appealing.
Despite the small size of the current version of the program, it has
many functions and analytic tools that are needed in viewing and designing
3-D data and models. The program is designed in such a way that make the
viewing and manipulating of a given 3-D data set user friendly through the
use of the virtual reality techniques. The increasing power of personal
computers and operating system make that ideal closer and closer to reality.
Thank you for your attention. Part of the author's hope is that
you could enjoy the wonders of an idealized 3-D world, some of which maybe is
created by yourself.
Note: If you do not have a emx-0.8x installed, you can simplly put
the emx.dll file in the directory where you install this program
or in a directory in you LIBPATH.
