Heilan Description

Cross-platform OpenGL X3D browser written in C++ and designed for audiovisual performance Heilan is a cross-platform OpenGL X3D browser written in C++ and designed for audiovisual performance.The browser itself is a command line program designed to be used offline (there's no browser plugin or http/ftp support), though there is a GUI frontend available as well (included in the binary package).The Heilan browser aims to conform to the X3D Interchange profile (and in the future, the Interactive profile), with additional support for certain nodes such as NurbsPatchSurface or Sound. Here are some key features of "Heilan": · Low latency audio courtesy of PortAudio (ASIO, DirectX, MME on Windows; Jack, ALSA, OSS on Linux; CoreAudio on OSX). · A 1st order B-format Ambisonic audio engine, allowing for full 3d sound, capable of accommodating virtually any speaker configuration (at the moment this is limited to preset configurations, but that will change in the future). · Open Sound Control support for all nodes, allowing a node's attributes to be manipulated in realtime, potentially by multiple users. · A multi-threaded audio engine, able to split off different nodes' audio processing into separate threads (and potentially, separate cpus/cores). This can be configured by the scene author.
