'Unbounding the
Future' This is the web version of one of K. Eric Drexler's books about nanotechnology. Depending on your taste and your browser, you can select one of two ways to access the same content. The first variant is straightforward, with a minimal amount of graphics, designed in a traditional "conservative" style. The second variant has rich graphic and interactive animated elements which have been created by means of Javascript. It has a book-like interface implemented by means of frames. |

TGV visualization 'Train à grande vitesse' (Train with high speed) was done for Electrabel, one of the Technopolis partners. Tractebel Energy Engineering was the project coordinator during the whole production period. TGV is a train simulation, for witch the Unreal 3D engine was used. Two tracks (each 2 km length) were created for the virtual presentation of train moving in a typical Belgian landscape at sunset. A camera is circling around the locomotive showing the locomotive and a part of the first carriage of the train, which is moving at a speed of 100 till 350 km/hour. The special light effects create the impression of the sunset time. Gorgeous red-blue clouds, the orange horizon and lit lamps along the track help to get the atmosphere of the 'close to the night' environment. |

Luc Van den Brande/Cyberskills (KMBC) Using avatars in 3D worlds is a necessity if you prefer to work in multi-user mode and make a world as interactive as possible. However we always have the intention to go a step further. By making avatars photorealistic the 'aha-experience' and the feeling and being involved even increases. By eliminating the background the creativity in the movement and animation of a personalized avatar is more stressed, as shown in this site. |

Simsalagrimm™ on-line Everybody knows the wonderful stories about kings, princes and beggars, giants and dwarves, witches and dragons. For generations, the fairy tales by the brothers Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859) Grimm have captured the hearts of countless children all over the world. Tales like "Cinderella", "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" or "Hansel and Gretel" have lost none of their attraction for children since their "conception" two hundred years ago - one good reason for Greenlight to establish the new media brandname SimsalaGrimm™: a unique and high-class cartoon production directed by Gerhard Hahn. As soon as first cartoon series was broadcasted in Germany SimsalaGrimm™ appears on-line what is greatest achievement of E-spaces on autumn-winter 1999. |

Virtual Walkthrough or Pearls of Flanders This high end VR was prepared for the F.T.I. Technoland exhibition that took place in Ghent (Belgium) at 19-25 April 1999. Since the visitors of the exhibition appreciated this virtual walkthrough through 6 cities of Flanders, it will be shown on the permanent exhibition in Technopolis. Historical centers of 6 cities were reproduced: Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Brugge, Leuven, and Hasselt. Each of them is a real-time 3D experience with full immersion in the center of the old city: square and adjacent streets. You can slide through the streets with the aid of a joystick or keyboard, exploring the picturesque old buildings. All facades, sculptures, fountains are reproduced with high fidelity, with love to the national heritage. Though so many details in the scene, the movement is smooth due to unique performance: 25 frames per second on a PII-300 with accelerator card. For the exhibition these virtual experiences were organized in a way to give the user the feeling of being really in these cities – they were shown on three 2.5x3 meters, screens (150°) placed in front of the visitor. To provide the high correspondence of models to real cities more than 2000 digital photos have been made. They were converted into more than 5500 textures to cover polygonal models. The aerial photos were used to provide exactness of the building's lay-out. A team of 12 artists and modelers worked furiously to finish all six models in 1.5 months to be in time to present it in Gent. |

Lingerie Boutique
Gazelle A demo of what the ideal on-line lingerie boutique should and could be. More marketing thought has gone into this than meets the eye: beyond catering to men for the obvious reasons, the design is interesting for women too because of the ingenious way in which they can virtually 'try on' the articles. Beyond that it would lower the threshold of the real-world equivalent for the shyer men among us looking to please their ladies too... |
