What is the VHMS?
What is HSB?

ParaGraph Internationals Home Space Builder (HSB), is intended for a wide range of consumers.

HSB is a toolkit for building and experiencing 3-dimensional spaces on a personal computer.

In  Guest Mode,  you move a camera through the 3D Spaces to view  Pictures,  Picture Albums,  and  Movies.  You can also play Sound Clips  attached to Pictures.

In  Master Mode,  you can create rooms, apply  Wallpaper  to the walls, apply floor coverings to the floors, and ceiling coverings to the ceilings. After you build a room, you can attach Pictures, Picture Albums, and Movies  to the walls. You can also record and attach Sound Clips to Pictures on the walls.

HSB comes with many sample pictures, wallpapers (floor and ceiling coverings), and movies, but you can place any computer image on a 3D Space wall. You can, for example, scan a photograph with a scanner and attach the resulting TIFF file to a wall.

What do you need ?

To work with HSB, you need Microsoft Windows (3.1 or later).

HSB works with a VGA video card, but it works better with an SVGA video card, and works best with a video card capable of displaying thousands or millions of colors.

To record and play sound tracks, you need a Sound Blaster(TM) or compatible sound card.

 ParaGraph International wishes good luck to all HSB  users!


How to run VHMS?
How to run HSB?

To run HSB, you should create a Program Item in your Program Manager with the name, MyFamily, for example.

Command line for the Program Item can be the following:

          hsb.exe      or      hsb.exe  first.mus

where  first.mus  is a 3D Space description file with which the program starts working.

On startup, a screen with the inscription, Home Space Builder, appears. This window is called either  Main or 3D.  In case there are no files with extension .mus (3D Space descriptions) in the command line for Program Item, a window with a file selector and inscription,  Open 3D Space File Dialog Box  will appear. After that, you should choose any file with extension .mus (3D Space description), press the button OK and start working with the chosen 3D Space. If you do not select any description file and press the button Cancel, youll work in an empty plane, and either build a 3D Space or choose the item, Open 3D Space, in the  3D Space Window Menu and load any 3D Space file.

If you have a sequence of MIDI files in Play List,  this sequence will begin playing with 3D Space Start.

You may add the following flags at startup:

/NOTITLE            -  Does not display title screen while loading

/NEW                      -  Opens new 3D Space

/AUTOWALK      -  Starts Walking Show on startup

/CYCLEWALK    -  Starts Repeating Walking Show on startup

/NODESKTOP   -  Hides desktop in background


Walk along the Museum.
Walk along the 3D Space.

You may walk through 3D Spaces both in Guest Mode  and in Master Mode.

Moving a walker through a 3D Space is similar to moving a camera. Use the camera controls in the   Walker Toolbox,  cursor  and schematic camera image in the  Plan Walker Window  and  Plane Builder Window  and the  Keyboard Buttons  to move the Camera through the 3D Space, and view  Pictures,  Picture albums,  and  Movie  on the walls.

You can also use Camera Control Box to adjust the Camera Height,  Tilt, and  Focal Distance (zoom),  all of which change the view of the 3D Space you see in the  3D  Space window.


How to build the Museum.
How to build a 3D Space.

This topic describes how to use the AddBox and RemBox Tools in the Builder Toolbox   to create rooms, and to create doors and windows for the rooms.

                     To create a Room:

1. Adjust the Segment Height Control Box to specify the height of the room and how high the room is floating off the floor.

2. Click AddBox in the Builder Toolbox.

3. Place the mouse pointer at one corner of the room, click the left mouse button, move the mouse pointer to the opposite corner of the room, and click the left mouse button again.

4. To cut away the interior of the room, adjust the top and bottom arrows in the Segment Height Control Box to be inside the top and bottom of the room exterior, select RemBox in the Builder Toolbox, and draw a box inside the exterior room box you drew with AddBox. The distance between the inside and outside boxes is the thickness of the walls. The difference in height between the top of the room and the interior cutaway is the thickness of the ceiling, and the difference in height between the bottom of the room and interior cutaway is the thickness of the floor.

                     To join Rooms:

1. Create the first room.

2. Create the second room so that it overlaps the first. Touching walls are automatically joined.

                     To create a Door or a Window in a wall:

1. Use the same Segment Height Control Box to specify the top and bottom of the door or window.

2. Choose RemBox in the Builder Toolbox.

3. Place the mouse pointer at one corner of an imaginary box, click the left mouse button, move the mouse pointer to the opposite corner, and click the left-mouse button again. The portion of the wall within the imaginary box is removed to create a door or window.

VHMS Files Format
HSB Files Format

Home spaces can be saved in three formats:

•	.MUS files (the only files that can be loaded by Home Space Builder 1.0).

•	.WRL files (can be loaded by any VRML browser compliant with the VRML 1.0 final SPEC).

•	.D96 files (export to ParaGraphs advanced file format).


Using the Universal Resource Locator

Universal Resource Locator  (URL)  is special form of the attachment that allows you to link an object to an Internet site.  This feature works in conjunction with NetScape Internet Browser v1.1 or later.

You can attach HTML/VRML link  (URL) to a Picture, Picture Album   or Movie.

To attach an URL, use Attach Editor.

Home Space Builder 1.0 is neither a VRML nor a HTML browser, but it can communicate with Netscape 1.1. When you double click on an object with an attached URL (there is a finger cursor indicating that the picture has an attached URL), this URL is transferred to Netscape 1.1.  If the URL is valid, Netscape will load the resource. Remember: when running Home Space Builder with Windows NT, Netscape 1.1 must be open when you attempt to link to a URL. We do not guarantee proper communications with any other HTML browser.

This feature gives you an unlimited opportunity to create your own views of WWW using a convenient 3D paradigm.
