More Details:

DVE_Player makes use of O2's unified memory architecture to capture video and display it as a texture map (or an environment texture map). The demo is written in Inventor using a set of digital media to texture map engines.
DVE_Player also makes use of custom keyframe animation engines allowing you to author animations in a VRML2.0 editor and drop them into our Inventor format for playback.
