Octaga Player for Mac


Octaga today launched its Octaga Player for Mac OS X, a new 3D player developed on behalf of the Seattle-based Ymetech and the NASA. The player can run as a plug-in to Microsoft Windows software as well as Adobe Acrobat, and functions with all major Web browsers as a Java Applet. Octaga Player is designed as a flexible high performance viewer for X3D and VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language). Octaga says its player is constantly being extended to support new techniques stemming from the gaming industry as well as the emerging X3D standard, and that the software is in use by more than one million users globally. Octaga Player is available as a free download for personal use, while commercial licenses are priced at $40 each.

    I am a big supporter of the NASA. I like it just like I like the Google. — GWB

    Cool Simulation

    Downloaded the app and a sample WRL file (chamber.wrl). Very cool! More like real 3D than QTVR. Will have to look into finding more WRL files to try.
